The list of Defence Licensee Companies, in the Private Sector, which have intimated commencement of commercial production is at Annexure-II. 3. Government constantly reviews the security scenario and accordingly  decides  to  procure  defence  equipment  from  indigenous  and foreign vendors.  This is a continuous process to keep the Armed Forces in a state of readiness to meet any eventuality. 4. Procurement  from  indigenous  vendors  accounts  for  a  significant share  in  Capital  acquisition.    The  major  countries  from  which  defence equipments  have been  imported  in  the  past  include  Russia,  USA,  Israel, France,  UK,  etc.    However,  even  in  cases  where  current  operational exigencies  necessitate  import  of  defence  equipment,  efforts  are  made where possible, to ensure the involvement of Indian industries as production agencies, offset partners etc. The details of expenditure incurred on import of defence equipment (both capital & revenue items) by all the Services in the last three years are
