CAG Reported – Dassault Aviation did not Fill the Promise of Offset in the Rafale Deal

The Rafale airplane bargain is again being talked about. The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) said that Dassault Aviation had proposed to give high innovation to DRDO rather than the 30% balance arrangement at the hour of the airplane bargain. The DRDO required this innovation to build up its light battle airplane motor Kaveri. In any case, Dassault Aviation didn’t satisfy its guarantee to date. 

The CAG report postponed in Parliament on Wednesday said that India secures arms abroad for a considerable scope. The 30 percent counterbalance arrangement has been actualized under the Defense Procurement Policy. 

In any case, the arms organizations guarantee a counterbalance to get the agreement; however, don’t satisfy it later. Along these lines, the balanced strategy is getting pointless. Rafale’s buy has been referenced in this unique circumstance, referred to as Rafale’s counterbalanced proposition in 2016. 

The report expressed that between 2005-2018, 46 balances were cut in guard managing an absolute estimation of Rs 66427 crore. Yet, by December 2018, just 19223 crore counterbalance contracts were finished. In any case, the Ministry of Defense also discovered only issues worth Rs 11396 crore in it. The rest were dismissed. 

The report said that the counterbalance contracts worth Rs 55 crore lost have not yet been made. These are to be finished by 2024, according to the set guidelines. Counterbalance arrangements can be met in a few different ways, such as putting resources into the nation’s safeguard division, by giving free innovation and making items from Indian organizations. 

However, the CAG has found in its review report that this strategy isn’t accomplishing its objectives. In its statement, the CAG also expressed that the acquirement strategy didn’t accommodate the finishing of balance contracts on a yearly premise. Investigation of the old cases shows that most arrangements are finished inside the most recent two years.
