23061. Indigenisation of nuts and bolts can’t be a cause for celebration
- A list of 2,500 items already indigenised by the 16 Defence Public Sector Undertakings, including the magnificent seven created last year by corporatizing 41 ordnance factories, was notified on 27th of December 2021 by MoD’s Department of Defence Production (DDP).
- The Press Release circulated by the Press Information Bureau claimed that the list had been notified ‘as (a) part of the efforts to achieve self-reliance in defence manufacturing and minimise imports’ by the DPSUs.
- It sounded very impressive but browsing through the list made the heart sink, for it includes several types of nuts, bolts, screws, bushes, washers, gaskets, pins, hoses, sealing rings, rivets, clamps, plugs, elbows, and jets. In some cases, different sizes of the same item have been listed separately to expand the list.

23063. Why is India willing to buy 2nd hand Mirage and MiG, but not 2nd hand Rafale fighter jets?
- India buys second-hand Mirage 2000 and MiG 29 fighters in large quantities, and will incorporate them into active service to enhance its military strength. In fact, the reality is that India buys second-hand Mirage 2000 and MiG in large quantities every year
- The second-hand fighter is not to expand the size of its fighter squadron, but to provide parts for these Mirage 2000 fighters and MiG 29s in active service. After all, these second-hand fighters are very cheap, and the parts removed from them are not only universal, but also of stable quality. It is more cost-effective, and more importantly, it is more convenient and quick to dismantle where it needs to be.
- Many people may find it inconceivable. Why doesn’t India just retire these Mirage 2000 and MiG 29 fighters, which require frequent replacement of parts, ahead of schedule? It’s not that India doesn’t want to, no country in the world really retires all models overnight.

23064. Rs 9000 Crore Push For Battery Infrastructure In India: Reliance, Mahindra, Hyundai Place Bids (Full Details)
- Reliance, Hyundai and Mahindra & Mahindra are some of the companies that have submitted bids under the country’s $2.4 billion battery scheme. India had finalised an incentive program last year which would incentivise companies investing in local manufacturing of batteries.
- The Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme was approved by the Union Cabinet in May 2021 which aims to achieve a manufacturing capacity of 50 GigaWatt Hour (GWh) of ACC and five GWh of niche ACC.
- Electric vehicles (EVs) still account for only a fraction of total sales mainly due to their high price from imported batteries. It is targeting EVs to comrpise 30% of private car sales by 2030 and for electric two wheelers to make up 40% of such sales. This would drive demand for batteries which currently takes up 35% to 40% of the total vehicle cost.
