The proposals include new anti-tank mines, heavy-weight torpedoes, multi-mission maritime aircraft, and air defence tactical control radars.
In a significant move towards bolstering India's defence capabilities, the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) has cleared acquisitions worth Rs 84,560 crore. The proposals include new anti-tank mines, heavy-weight torpedoes, multi-mission maritime aircraft, and air defence tactical control radars. The final approval is expected to come from the Cabinet Committee and will significantly boost the strength of India's Armed Forces and the Indian Coast Guard.
In most of the proposals cleared, the emphasis is on procuring equipment from Indian vendors keeping in line with the government's push for 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' (self-reliant India).
The approved proposals encompass a diverse range of state-of-the-art defence technologies, including the procurement of a new generation of Anti-tank mines equipped with seismic sensors and remote deactivation features.
