Export of Indian missiles |
The Government of India has decided in principle to allow export of missile systems to `certain` countries who have friendly relationship with India, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said . The government had taken a very conscious decision about 4-5 months ago that 10 per cent of the missile capacity will be permitted to be exported if producers manage to get export orders subject to parameters set by the Union government and external affairs ministry.Policy of export was always existing earlier, but the problem was lack of spare capacity after meeting requirement of the country`s armed forces, he said, adding that the production capacity for various missile systems like ` Akash ` had been been improved now. On possible export of BrahMos missiles to Vietnam, which he had visited earlier , he said the southeast Asian country had expressed interest and a group would be set up to discuss about their requirement.
