What happened

Well supportedReported by 14 independent outlets

The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), chaired by Rajnath Singh, gave Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) for capital acquisition proposals estimated at around ₹1.10 lakh crore. This package included the approval of $11.6 billion worth of military hardware, with the goal that nearly 98% of purchases would come from domestic manufacturers. Specific procurements included advanced light helicopters, mine-laying vehicles, and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) reconnaissance vehicles for the Indian Army. Additionally, the Ministry of Defence announced the start of the procurement process for integrated counter-UAS systems to be fitted onto existing Indian Army main battle tanks.

The approvals signal a significant shift toward building a dynamic military industrial base by encouraging a larger role for the private sector in defense production. The acquisitions span all three services—Army, Navy, and Air Force—and involve high-tech platforms such as counter-UAS systems and specialized reconnaissance vehicles.
