Procurement Initiatives

The Army is proposing the acquisition of 120 km range guided Pinaka Mk3 rockets for enhanced artillery capabilities, with Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) clearance sought. Final delivery of three AH-64E Apache helicopters is scheduled soon, boosting combat readiness. The Army placed orders worth ₹5,000 crore under Emergency Procurement (EP) for indigenous drones capable of operations in jamming and spoofing environments, based on post-Operation Sindoor trials. Contracts include ₹500 crore to Mishra Dhatu Nigam (MIDHANI) for loitering munitions, and ₹725 crore to NewSpace and SMPP for surveillance and kamikaze drones. IdeaForge and JSW (potentially for Shield AI V-BAT VTOL systems) are shortlisted.
