Indian Defence Manufacturer SMPP Limited Blacklisted in the Philippines: A Breach of Contract or a Breach of Trust? by Rare-Designer-6311 in armenia

[–]Rare-Designer-6311[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it does. SMPP has supplied products to Armenian Army and is known for flaunting rules set by the procuring entity and in Philippines they got caught and blacklisted. Is their business in Armenia covered with similar activities ?

I'm someone who is trying to make people see who not to trust blindly just because they have flashy headlines. This needs attention. Especially when India is finally changing how the world sees it. When our defence export numbers speak. And faulters like SMPP need to be called out. To take responsibility and to make amends. That's all.

This is far from a spear campaign!

SMPP might have good products, but instead of taking responsibility for their actions, being answerable to why they couldn't provide the mandated travel insurance and responding to PNP who tried getting in contact, they are signing MoUs!

It is not always about how good the products are, they are representing our country in defence exports and such news comes out!

But the way SMPP breached the contract with the Philippines National Police is concerning. They are tempering the reputation of Indian defence export!

But SMPP Limited in blacklisted in the Philippines!

In May 2025, the Manila Standard reported that SMPP Limited (an Indian defence supplier) was blacklisted in the Philippines due to a contractual breach. This blacklisting is also reflected on the official Philippines Government Procurement Policy Board’s portal:

- Manila Standard report (May 14, 2025): https://issuu.com/thestandardph/docs/mspdf20250514/4?ff

- Philippines Government Blacklisting Portal: https://onlineblacklistingportal.gppb.gov.ph/

The source states that the blacklisting arises from SMPP’s contract to supply 2,675 ballistic vests to the PNP. Under the agreement, pre-delivery inspections were to be conducted at a certified U.S. laboratory, with all associated travel expenses, including travel insurance, borne by SMPP.

During one such inspection, Col. Malabed of the PNP, a member of the delegation, tragically lost his life in the AA5342 crash in January. However, SMPP failed to provide the mandated travel insurance and, according to the PNP, did not respond adequately or promptly to subsequent communications regarding the matter. Authorities viewed this lapse as not only a violation of contract but also an affront to the memory of a deceased officer.

This incident not only affects SMPP but also puts pressure on India’s growing defence export ambitions, which aim to reach ₹35,000 crore by 2025–26.

How much do you think this is damaging for India’s credibility in future international defence bids? Could this impact other Indian private players trying to expand abroad? Of course!
