Defense Ministry to approve military proposal worth Rs 1 lakh crore, first meeting to be held after Operation Sindoor

The Defence Ministry is going to hold a crucial meeting this week, in which defence modernisation projects worth over Rs 1 lakh crore will be approved to enhance the strength of the Indian armed forces. The first meeting of the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) will be held after ‘Operation Sindoor’, in which several important proposals are likely to be approved. To strengthen air defence along the Indo-Pakistan border, the ministry may approve the purchase of three new regiments of indigenous Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missile (QRSAM) system. This is a DRDO project, which will be taken forward by Bharat Dynamics Limited and Bharat Electronics Limited. The Indian Air Force has proposed to purchase three spy aircraft under the I-STAR programme. The Intelligence, Surveillance, Targeting and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) aircraft will be important for monitoring enemy movements and destroying ground targets in the future. The aircraft will be purchased from an original manufacturer and upgraded as per Indian requirements by DRDO’s Centre of Airborne Systems (CABS).
