India's Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh on Thursday, May 29, flagged delays in procurement of defence systems, saying that several contracts have been signed knowing that the projects will not be delivered.
Speaking at CII Annual Business Summit, Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh said, “Many times, we know while signing contracts that those systems will never come. Timelines are a big issue. Not a single project I can think of is completed on time.” “Why should we promise something that cannot be achieved?” he asked.
