MoD Signs Rs 2,000 Cr Deal for Air Defence Radars

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has signed a contract worth approximately Rs 2,000 crore with Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) for the procurement of Air Defence Fire Control Radars under the Buy (Indian–Indigenously Designed, Developed and Manufactured) category.

The agreement, signed in New Delhi in the presence of Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh, marks a significant milestone in the modernisation of the Army’s Air Defence Regiments.

The new radars, with at least 70 per cent indigenous content, will be capable of detecting fighter aircraft, attack helicopters, and drones. The procurement will not only enhance operational readiness but also provide opportunities to Indian MSMEs through the supply of components and raw materials.

This contract highlights the Government’s efforts to boost self-reliance in defence manufacturing while supporting domestic industry.
