India Approves Rs 52000 Crore Defence Equipment Purchase Including Akash Tarang System
India has approved defence purchases worth Rs 52000 crore including the Akash Tarang electronic warfare system to strengthen military preparedness and improve the operational capabilities of the armed forces.
India Clears Major Defence Procurement Plan
India has taken another significant step toward strengthening its defence capabilities by approving the purchase of military equipment worth Rs 52000 crore. The approval was granted by the Defence Acquisition Council led by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh during a high level meeting held in New Delhi.
Akash Tarang Among Key Defence Systems
One of the most notable approvals includes the acquisition of the Akash Tarang electronic warfare system, along with other advanced defence equipment and unmanned aerial technologies. The move is aimed at improving the country’s readiness to face emerging security challenges and modern warfare requirements.
High Level Meeting in New Delhi
The Defence Acquisition Council meeting brought together top military leadership, including Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Army Chief General Dhiraj Seth, Navy Chief Admiral Krishna Swaminathan, and senior defence officials. They reviewed the procurement proposals before giving the final approval.
First DAC Meeting After Three Months
The latest meeting was the first Defence Acquisition Council session in nearly three months. The council had last met in March, when it approved an important proposal to procure five additional S400 air defence systems from Russia. The latest decision continues India’s efforts to modernise its armed forces with advanced technology and strategic defence assets.
Focus on Defence Modernisation
The fresh procurement package reflects the government’s continued focus on enhancing national security through indigenous and advanced defence systems. The approved purchases are expected to improve surveillance, electronic warfare, and overall operational efficiency across the armed forces.
