The Bid for 45 Bird
Detection Radars primarily for the IAF in which Axis Aerospace was declared the
lowest bidder, could to be scrapped following complaints from competitors, AerospaceDiary has heard, but could not confirm. They relate to high life cycle costs and queries against Axis that has used multi-currency in
its mode of payment. It is a buzz that
during the CNC meeting, the Joint Secy “was not comfortable” clearing the bid. Why
it was not pointed out in the earlier stages to save time, or enough homework done on RBI rules by MoD, is a question that
will continue to haunt the sane!
Once again, we are
back to square one.
There were 551 bird
hits between April 2011 and March 2014, Defense Minister Arun Jaitley had
confirmed in Parliament on August 1.
