The fact is that mahindra defence systems products have failed several military trials and are very overpriced. I have heard that their marksman is priced at 57 lacs, and has underpowered 120 bhp scorpio engine?? This is what they do in name of R&D and attaching themselves with big international groups.sanjeev guptanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-9188638653573848082008-03-22T19:54:00.000-07:002008-03-22T19:54:00.000-07:00abhiman, I don't think that is a possible scenario...abhiman, I don't think that is a possible scenario. <BR/><BR/>If DRDO is going to do R&D and come up with a useful product, obviously those locally designed are going to be cheaper than those manufactured by private sectors. In such case, govt rules allow MoD to buy the cheaper one how inferior it may be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-19917185979002327532008-03-22T09:24:00.000-07:002008-03-22T09:24:00.000-07:00Mr. Shukla, I fully agree with the view that, "A q...Mr. Shukla, I fully agree with the view that, "<I>A question mark, though, hangs over whether MDS will contribute technology and R&D to its JV with BaE Systems, or whether the Indian end of the JV will merely manufacture according to blueprints provided by the foreign partner.</I>"<BR/><BR/>The above increasingly seems to be true of the Indian private manufacturers who are suddenly entering the defence sector. As per your articles that highlight the TATAs' and L&T's foray into defence sector, they have agreements with foreign private companies to produce their products only, and not any R&D of their own.<BR/><BR/><B>Thus, it is clear that this is only a form of licence production, with the only difference that now it is in the hands of India's private sector.<BR/>There may also be a renewed activation of lobbying, in which these new private entrants will lobby to hamper the induction of DRDO products into the services, in favour of their own products locally copied from tie-ups with foreign firms.</B><BR/><BR/>Thank you.Abhimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13725190272782358248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-52184252526410363222008-03-22T04:32:00.000-07:002008-03-22T04:32:00.000-07:00News about Ashok Leyland?
