Defence Acquisition Council Approves Domestic Procurement Proposals
The Defence Acquisition Council, chaired by Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, has granted Acceptance of Necessity for capital acquisition proposals worth about ₹1.10 lakh crore. The majority of the procurement value, around 98%, will come from the domestic Indian industry under the Atmanirbhar Bharat framework. The approved proposals include various defence systems and equipment for the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force, such as CBRN reconnaissance vehicles, Arudhra radars, and Marine Gas Turbines. This development was reported by an unknown source.
