While the dependency has reduced considerably over the years, there is still much more to be done to achieve the goal of ‘Aatmnirbhar Bharat’. A major step taken in this direction was to turn focus towards building a robust domestic defence manufacturing industry that could cater to the needs of the armed forces. As part of its Make in India initiative, the government has given particular attention and thrust to the defence sector with several steps taken to catalyse the development of indigenous capabilities in defence manufacturing. These initiatives to energise defence manufacturing would need to be complimented by equipping, synchronising and streamlining the defence testing ecosystem considering the stringent standards / quality assurance requirements. There is also a need to make the manufacturing base, primarily comprising MSMEs, familiar with the testing and qualification ecosystem along with the details of existing facilities.  \nIn order to objectively assess the defence testing ecosystem that is currently available, KPMG in India has carried out a study based on research, objective analysis and survey of MSMEs, Start-upsand established industry players. The survey was conducted in December 2021 and was aimed at evaluating the familiarity to applicable standards, availability of test facilities and ease of access, besides soliciting relevant suggestions. The study covers the existing test systems/capabilities in defence organisations that have been made available to private industry along with steps taken with regard to standardisation and development of defence standards. In order to provide a benchmark for standardisation, a case study was also carried out highlighting the development of defence standards in the USA.  \nThe study aims to provide a macro level view of the defence testing infrastructure and efforts for development of standards. It highlights the onground challenges and needs as felt by the industry players so as to provide key insight with regard to the specific areas to be addressed to strengthen the defence testing ecosystem in India.  \nThe key recommendations are:  \n• The need to create a uniform, non-duplicitous set of standards and specifications.  \n• Streamlining existing India-specific standards and also adopting global / commercial standards where feasible.  \n• Augment existing test infrastructure in a systematic manner considering existing facilities already available at defence organisations, with an aim to provide widespread access across regions avoiding duplication.  \n• Creation of an online central database, which provides easy access to all relevant information on applicable defence standards as well as existing / upcoming test facilities.  \nAbhishek Verma Partner  \nAerospace and Defence KPMG in India  \n© 2022 KPMG Assurance and Consulting Services LLP, an Indian Limited Liability Partnership and a member firm of the KPMG global organization of independent member firms affiliated with KPM","cbCaiuW2BwR2saG0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuW2BwR2saG0","pdf",6525243,51,"English","# Foreword\n# India’s thrust on indigenisation\n# Make-in-India\n# Enablers for growth of the private domestic sector\n# Awareness on defence testing standards and facilities\n# Defence testing infrastructure\n# Development of military / defence standards\n# Roadmap for evolution of Indian standards and specifications\n# Conclusion and recommendations","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of the study on defence testing in India?\",\"answer\":\"The study provides a macro-level view of defence testing infrastructure and efforts to develop standards, highlighting onground challenges and industry needs.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the assessment of the defence testing ecosystem conducted?\",\"answer\":\"KPMG conducted a study using research, objective analysis, and a survey of MSMEs, start-ups, and established industry players in December 2021.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the key recommendations to strengthen India’s defence testing ecosystem?\",\"answer\":\"Recommendations include creating uniform non-duplicative standards, streamlining and adopting global/commercial standards where feasible, systematically augmenting test infrastructure, and establishing an online central database for standards and facilities.\"}]","Defence Standards and Testing Infrastructure - Critical Enablers in India’s Indigenisation Journey - April 2022 | PDF",129]
