ABSTRACT


The Defence Procurement Manual 2025 (DPM 2025), which supersedes DPM 2009, applies to revenue procurement in the defence services. Although the new manual provides for more stringent timelines, delegated financial authority, e-procurement, and contractual incentives to ensure efficiency and indigenous development, this paper contends that the problem of delays is more complex and embedded in the system. The paper concludes that only procedural changes are not enough, and there is a need for institutional, financial, and industrial transformation if DPM 2025 is to ensure effective defence procurement.


Keywords: Defence procurement Manual 2025, revenue procurement, defence contracts, procurement delays, e-procurement, defence policy reforms.
