In addition, Paras Anti-Drone Technologies Pvt. Ltd., the company’s subsidiary, received a separate order valued at Rs 39.5 million (including GST) from the Ministry of Defence for Radio Frequency (RF) Jammers, which include integrated drone detection and jamming capabilities.

The back-to-back order wins reinforce the Ministry’s confidence in the company’s ability to deliver high-performance, indigenous defence technologies at scale.

With drone technologies evolving rapidly, dependable counter-drone systems are crucial for national security. We remain committed to delivering robust, Made-in-India solutions that support the armed forces and advance the nation’s security framework,” he said.
