Don't agree. Get backup / duplicate facilities within the same plant. There is a financial advantage to this deal which will offset additional costs.
The disagreement is natural.
DAE Inc, has been computing the associated costs for so long on the back burner that most are not familiar with it.
However, with AK stating that India is in control and can go it alone (the costs are embedded in there), and, now the likes of Dr. Prasad providing some details, has fallen of deaf ears in Washington for sure, and, more than likely in New Delhi too.
Dr. Prasad's comments have to be read along with the comments made by Dr. Gopalkrishnan in Feb, 2006 (PMO arm twisting) and all AKs comments over the past 2-3 years. The problem, clearly, is New Delhi. MMS has never come out against the Hyde Act, and, for closure he needs to do that and not hide behind his parliament statements. The fence is being erected and he cannot stride it and be the Indian PM.
Thankfully today is the last day.
