India Jul 03, 2025

India's Defence Acquisition Council just greenlit 10 big-ticket purchases worth ₹1.05 lakh crore, all under the 'Buy (Indian-IDDM)' initiative.
Chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, this move is set to ramp up mobility, air defense, and logistics across the armed forces.

A look at the list of equipment

These upgrades mean new Armoured Recovery Vehicles, Electronic Warfare Systems, Surface-to-Air Missiles, and smart inventory management for all three services—plus some serious naval gear like mine countermeasure vessels and submersible drones.
It's a big push for self-reliance: more homegrown tech, less dependence on imports.
For India's defense industry and national security, this is a major step forward in staying ready for whatever comes next.
