"Over the past 60 years, the growth of SP Guide Publications has mirrored the rising stature of Indian Navy.

The Ministry of Defence has signed contracts with Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML) and Electro Pneumatics and Hydraulics (India) Private Limited for the procurement of TRAWL Assembly for T-72/T-90 Tanks, at an approximate cost of ₹975 crore. The contracts were inked in the presence of Defence Secretary Shri Rajesh Kumar Singh in New Delhi on April 21, 2026.
The TRAWL Assembly for T-72/T-90 Tanks is a critical equipment developed by DRDO which will enhance the minefield breaching capability of the Indian Army. It would generate additional capability of creating Vehicle Safe Lanes through minefields with anti-tank mines with proximity magnetic fuses, thus enhancing the operational effectiveness of the Indian Army.
Being a Buy (Indian-Indigenously Designed, Developed and Manufactured) case, the procurement marks a pivotal step towards modernising India's defence infrastructure and empowering indigenous industries, which will be a proud flag-bearer of Atmanirbhar Bharat. This project has immense potential of direct and indirect employment generation by encouraging the MSME sector through components' manufacturing.
