The Ministry of Defence has signed a Rs 12.2 billion contract with Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), Bengaluru, for the procurement of 149 Software Defined Radios (SDRs) for the Indian Coast Guard. The agreement, signed under the Buy (Indian-IDDM) category, aims to enhance the force’s operational capabilities.

These advanced SDRs will provide secure, high-speed data and voice communication, improving information sharing, situational awareness, and coordination. This will strengthen the Coast Guard’s ability to conduct maritime law enforcement, search and rescue missions, fisheries protection, and marine environmental safeguarding. The new communication systems will also enhance interoperability with the Indian Navy for joint operations.

The project aligns with the government’s Atmanirbhar Bharat vision by bolstering domestic manufacturing capabilities for military-grade communication systems. It is expected to generate employment opportunities and contribute to India’s maritime security goals, supporting the broader Blue Economy objectives.
