(a) The details of  the  import  budget for defence  during  the  last  three  years, country-wise  are placed at Annexure-A. (b) Capital procurement of defence equipment is carried out as per Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP-2013). It provides that preference will be given to indigenous design, development and manufacture of defence equipment. Therefore,  whenever  the  required  arms,  ammunition  and  equipment  can  be made  by  Indian  Industry  within  the  timelines  required  by  the  Services,  the procurement  will  be  made  from  indigenous  sources.  The  DPP-2013  mandates higher  preference  to  the  'Buy(Indian)',  'Buy  and  Make  (Indian)'  and  'Make' categorization in Capital Procurement. The Defence Production Policy focuses on greater self-reliance in defence production. Government has also raised FDI limit in defence production from 26% to 49%. The  expenditure  on  capital  acquisition  in  respect  of  orders  placed  on Indian vendors and foreign vendors during the period from 2011-2012 to 20142015  was ` 1,38,630.82 crore and ` 1,08,852.55 crore respectively .
