R Shivaraman博士(R Shivaraman)敦促印度从目前最低价格的国防采购模式转向“质量高于价格”方法, 警告说优先成本会破坏创新, 特别是在深科技和研发领域。 As India prepares for the 2026 Union Budget, Dr. R Shivaraman urges a shift from India’s current lowest-bidder defense procurement model to a "quality over price" approach, warning that prioritizing cost undermines innovation, especially in deep-tech and R&D. 他认为L1系统和反向拍卖阻碍有能力的开发商、伤害初创企业和风险项目失败, 甚至在DDO的TDF等创新基金内也是如此。 He argues the L1 system and reverse auctions discourage capable developers, harm startups, and risk project failures, even within innovation funds like DRDO’s TDF. 他引用美国的模式,主张签订长期、灵活的合同,提供稳定的资金,以支持印度的“Atmanirbhar”防御野心,并维持其国内防御生态系统。 Citing U.S. models, he advocates for long-term, flexible contracts with stable funding to support India’s “Atmanirbhar” defense ambitions and sustain its domestic defense ecosystem.
