&lt;em&gt;These VVPAT machines will be manufactured only as per the design approved by the Election Commission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Election Commission has issued letter of intent for purchase of 16.15 lakh Voter-Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) machines, following a clearance by the Union Cabinet on fund allocations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The machines will be procured in 2017-18 and 2018-19 at an estimated cost of ?3,173.47 crore from public sector undertakings BEL and ECIL.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In its letter sent to CMDs of ECIL and BEL on Friday, the commission has communicated its intent for purchase 8,07,500 VVPATs from each of the PSUs by September 2018,&amp;rdquo; said an EC note.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Approved design&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
These VVPATs will be manufactured only as per the design approved by the commission, based on the recommendations of the Technical Experts Committee on EVMs, constituted by the electoral body.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The committee comprises eminent technical professors from Indian Institutes of Technology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The commission shall closely monitor the production of VVPATs for timely delivery well before the Lok Sabha general elections in 2019,&amp;rdquo; said the EC&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Explaining the importance of this step, Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi said, &amp;ldquo;It will enhance transparency and uphold the voters&amp;rsquo; right to know which party he or she has voted, thereby increasing voters&amp;rsquo; confidence in the free and fair electoral process.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;These VVPAT machines will be manufactured only as per the design approved by the Election Commission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Election Commission has issued letter of intent for purchase of 16.15 lakh Voter-Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) machines, following a clearance by the Union Cabinet on fund allocations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The machines will be procured in 2017-18 and 2018-19 at an estimated cost of ?3,173.47 crore from public sector undertakings BEL and ECIL.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In its letter sent to CMDs of ECIL and BEL on Friday, the commission has communicated its intent for purchase 8,07,500 VVPATs from each of the PSUs by September 2018,&amp;rdquo; said an EC note.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Approved design&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
These VVPATs will be manufactured only as per the design approved by the commission, based on the recommendations of the Technical Experts Committee on EVMs, constituted by the electoral body.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The committee comprises eminent technical professors from Indian Institutes of Technology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The commission shall closely monitor the production of VVPATs for timely delivery well before the Lok Sabha general elections in 2019,&amp;rdquo; said the EC&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Explaining the importance of this step, Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi said, &amp;ldquo;It will enhance transparency and uphold the voters&amp;rsquo; right to know which party he or she has voted, thereby increasing voters&amp;rsquo; confidence in the free and fair electoral process.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
