there should be synergies between offsets
across the contracts.

upgradation of SMEs in the sector may also
be considered either directly or through fiscal
incentives in order to enable SMEs to make
the best use of opportunities created by the
offset policy.

vii. Strengthen the certification and
regulatory systems in the country through
augmentation of manpower and technical
capabilities of DGCA. This can be achieved
through cooperative arrangements with
research institutions, industry and global
agencies in the field. There should be
bilateral agreements with US and EU for
mutual acceptance of certification in order
to strengthen the role of Indian vendors in
global supply chain.

7.4 National Civil Transport Aircraft
i. The proposed National Civil Aircraft
project may be put on fast track and may
be executed in PPP mode with carefully
selected private sector partners including
global OEMs having required experience
in execution of such projects along with
establishing market strategies, customer
support, training, maintenance and lifecycle
upgrades that market will demand.

ii. The project must have an export orientation
right at the conceptual stage and be designed
to meet or better the contemporary
global specifications in terms of efficiency,
performance and life cycle costs to be
successful in the market. The aircraft should
be equipped with the most advanced
technologies available and meet the global
