India’s Defence Acquisition Council has approved military procurements worth ₹1.3 lakh crore, including surface-to-air missiles, armoured recovery vehicles, and electronic warfare systems for the Army, Navy, and Air Force. The decision, announced by the Ministry of Defence on Thursday, was taken under the leadership of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. All 10 acquisition proposals were cleared under the ‘Buy (Indian-IDDM)’ category, aimed at boosting indigenous defence manufacturing. The move reflects India’s growing emphasis on military self-reliance and enhanced combat readiness. The new equipment will significantly strengthen the operational capabilities of the Indian armed forces across multiple domains. (PC: AFP)
