Defence Ministry Clears Proposals With Emphasis On Domestic Sourcing
The Indian Defence Ministry has approved military procurement proposals worth ₹2.12 lakh crore, with a significant emphasis on domestic sourcing. The proposals cover a range of military platforms and weapons, including light multi-role helicopters, long-range Kamikaze drone systems, and air defence systems. The approvals, which were cleared by the Defence Acquisition Council, reflect demand across multiple equipment categories and may provide a boost to the domestic defence manufacturing ecosystem. The decision was reported by Times of Oman.
