1.   BACKGROUND
The vision to develop a truly indigenous Diesel Engine for marine applications under the ‘Make in India’ mission, would require an exercise to rope in major ‘local Indian players with proven track record of developing and manufacturing IC engine.’

All global players in marine diesel engine business spend their R&D costs on automotive power train development either in agriculture or mining industry. This calls for the need to engage with home grown Indian automotive players to step into the high margin business of marine diesel engine.

2.   GOVT CONTROLLED INDIAN CAPTIVE MARKET
The five distinct captive markets of diesel engines that are controlled by Ministry/Govt depts. and funded for procurement are listed below. The clubbing of these requirements to leverage and orchestrate it for Make in India Initiative across ministry/organisations can reap good strategic result towards self reliance goal of the nation:-
