Conference Description:

In a major policy reform intended to promote Make in India in defence manufacturing, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) announced on May 31, 2017 the much-anticipated ‘Strategic Partnership Model’ for the Indian private sector. The ‘Strategic Partnership Model’ offers a fresh and clearly defined opportunity for international OEMs and sub-suppliers to win business in India through transfer of technology, join-ventures, co-production and life-cycle support for years to come. As a result of this defence policy reform, the Society of Indian Defence Manufacturers (SIDM) was created to support a traditionally complex procurement process in India and help de-risk and de-complicate the bidding process for foreign industry. With this in mind, the Society of Indian Defence Manufacturers (SIDM) and Defence IQ are holding Armoured Vehicles India conference in New Delhi from 26-27th June - along with key programme stakeholders in order to define the way forward for India’s major vehicle procurements (FICV, FRCV, LAM-V & LSV).
