Army Signs Rs 19.8 Billion Deals For Counter-Terror Kit

The Ministry of Defence has sealed thirteen emergency-procurement contracts worth about Rs 19.82 billion (against an overall allocation of Rs 20 billion) to sharpen the Indian Army’s counter-terrorism edge. Concluded on an accelerated fast-track basis, the packages will raise situational awareness, mobility, protection and fire-power for troops in high-risk zones.

What’s on order

  • Integrated Drone Detection & Interdiction Systems
  • Low-Level Lightweight Radars
  • VSHORADS launchers and missiles
  • Remotely-piloted aerial vehicles and other tactical drones
  • Loitering munitions with vertical take-off and landing capability
  • Quick-reaction fighting vehicles (heavy and medium)
  • Bullet-proof jackets and ballistic helmets
  • Night sights for rifles

All equipment is being sourced from Indian industry under the Emergency Procurement mechanism, which allows compressed timelines to plug urgent capability gaps. The ministry said the move reflects its commitment to “modern, mission-critical, fully indigenous systems” for meeting evolving security threats.
