India faces moderate corruption risk across its defence institutions. Institutional safeguards to corruption are strongest with regards to personnel management where codes of conduct are strong and formal payment systems robust. However, limited external oversight of financial management and policy-making, combined with poor transparency in the procurement process significantly increase the risk of corruption.
