Ministry of Defence Concludes Emergency Procurement Contracts Worth Nearly ₹2,000 Crore to Enhance Counter-Terrorism Capability
In a significant move to strengthen the Indian Army's operational readiness in counter-terrorism (CT) operations, the Ministry of Defence has concluded thirteen contracts under the Emergency Procurement (EP) mechanism. These contracts, amounting to ₹1,981.90 crore, have been finalised against an overall sanctioned outlay of ₹2,000 crore for the Indian Army.
Executed through fast-track procedures under the EP mandate, the procurement aims to enhance situational awareness, lethality, mobility, and protection for troops deployed in CT environments. The acquisitions were completed within compressed timelines to ensure rapid capability augmentation.
Key equipment being procured includes:
- Integrated Drone Detection and Interdiction Systems (IDDIS)
- Low Level Lightweight Radars (LLLR)
- Very Short Range Air Defence Systems (VSHORADS)- Launchers and Missiles
- Remotely Piloted Aerial Vehicles (RPAVs)
- Loitering Munitions, including Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) systems
- Various categories of drones
- Bullet Proof Jackets (BPJs)
- Ballistic Helmets
- Quick Reaction Fighting Vehicles (QRFVs) – Heavy and Medium
- Night Sights for Rifles
These procurements reflect the Ministry's commitment to equipping the Indian Army with modern, mission-critical, and completely indigenous systems to meet emerging security challenges. The EP route continues to be a key enabler in bridging urgent capability gaps and ensuring timely induction of vital operational equipment.
