The Ministry of Defence (MoD), Government of India, has officially released the draft Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP) 2026<\/strong>. This landmark document is set to replace the existing DAP 2020, marking a significant shift from mere indigenization to true intellectual property ownership and technological “vertical velocity”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As India enters the “Amrit Kaal,” the DAP 2026 serves as the regulatory backbone to ensure the nation reaches its centenary in 2047 as a “Shaper of the Global Order”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Highlight: Aerospace Systems to Follow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A critical detail for industry stakeholders is the current status of aerospace procurement. The draft clarifies that the Procedure for Acquisition of Aero Space Systems is being developed separately<\/strong> in consultation with stakeholders. This specialized procedure will be integrated into the DAP 2026 at a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Core Philosophy: “Owned by India”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The DAP 2026 departs from the traditional model of manufacturing foreign equipment on Indian soil. Instead, it prioritizes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • IP Ownership:<\/strong> Shifting from Transfer of Technology (ToT) to Co-Development and Ownership of Intellectual Property.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Design Powerhouse:<\/strong> Capital acquisitions will now prioritize retaining source codes, critical design data, and upgrade authority within Indian entities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • JAI Framework:<\/strong> The policy is built on the pillars of Jointness, Atmanirbharta, and Innovation (JAI)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    New Acquisition Categories & Procedures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The draft outlines a comprehensive framework for various procurement routes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Buy & Buy and Manufacture:<\/strong> Streamlined procedures for direct purchases and collaborative manufacturing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Make Categories:<\/strong> Detailed processes for ‘Make-I’ (Government funded), ‘Make-II’ (Industry funded), and ‘Make-III’ (Indigenously manufactured replacements for imports).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Innovation (iDEX):<\/strong> Focuses on startups and MSMEs to develop low-cost, high-impact technologies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Low-Cost Capital Acquisition (LCCA):<\/strong> A new category for faster procurement of cost-effective solutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Other Capital Procurement Procedure (OCPP):<\/strong> Covers the replacement of items like earthmovers, specialized vehicles, and heavy equipment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Modernizing the Acquisition Cycle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      To keep pace with rapid technological advancements in AI, Quantum Computing, and Drones, the DAP 2026 introduces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Fast-Track Procurement Protocols:<\/strong> Designed for evolving systems where traditional 2-3 year cycles lead to obsolescence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Digital Integration:<\/strong> The entire process will be moved to a digital platform to enhance transparency and accountability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Technology Readiness Levels (TRL):<\/strong> A standardized 1-9 scale to assess the maturity of technology from basic research to operational deployment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Eligibility and Financial Norms for Vendors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        To participate, Indian vendors must meet specific criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Entity Type:<\/strong> Must be a manufacturing entity or system integrator, not a trading company.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Net Worth:<\/strong> Generally, the net worth must not be less than 5% of the estimated project cost.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Turnover:<\/strong> Average annual turnover for the last three years should be at least 30% of the project cost (waived for cases under \u20b9150 crores).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Important Dates for Stakeholders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          The Ministry of Defence is actively seeking feedback to refine this draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Deadline for Comments:<\/strong> Suggestions and amendments must be submitted by March 3, 2026<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Submission Format:<\/strong> Comments should be sent via email to secy-dap2025@gov.in<\/code> or tmls-mod@nic.in<\/code> in MS Word or PDF format.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            By focusing on “Owned by India” rather than just “Made in India,” the DAP 2026 aims to transform the nation into a global design and manufacturing hub for the next decade<\/sup><\/sup><\/sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
