Indian Army began its work on the GOCO (Government Owned Contractor Operated) Model.
The model is extended to base workshops and ordnance depots.
The workshops play vital role as they ensure the Indian Army is operationally prepared all the time.
The GOCO model was one of the recommendations of the Lt. Gen. DB Shekatkar (Retd.) committee to enhance combat capability and re-balancing defence expenditure.
In GOCO model, the assets owned by government will be operated by the private industries.
