The most important drawback has been the delay in development of the systems and in cost over runs. Both of these have ensured that we are heavily dependent on imports.

Looking at the Vision and Mission statement of DRDO, here
http://www.drdo.org/mission.shtml
I do not see anywhere or infer (should not have to if the mission in clear), their mission is ensuring development and does not say anything about timely development timely (again this term being relative) or avoiding cost overruns. Either outsiders do not really understand what "mission statement & vision" are supposed to mean (and DRDO does) or having wrong expectations and false parameters for measuring success of DRDO.
What am I missing?
