Continuing the efforts to minimise imports by Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSU), Defence Ministry has approved the 4th Positive Indigenisation List (PIL) of 928 strategically-important Line Replacement Units (LRUs), sub-systems, spares and components, including high-end materials and spares, with import substitution value worth ₹715 crore, a Ministry statement said on Sunday. These will only be procured from the Indian Industry after the timelines indicated on the list.
“The DPSUs will soon initiate procurement action for these notified items. The industry may look for Expression of Interest (EoIs), Request for Proposal (RFPs) on the srijan portal dashboard especially designed for this purpose and may come forward to participate in large number,” the statement said.
