In a major boost to India's military capabilities, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has signed crucial contracts worth ₹2,500 crore for the procurement of a sophisticated anti-tank missile system and a fleet of light vehicles. This significant investment highlights India's commitment to enhancing its defence infrastructure through indigenous manufacturing, aligning with its ambitious goal of self-sufficiency in the defence sector.
A substantial portion of the deal, valued at ₹1,801 crore, is allocated for the Nag Missile System (NAMIS), a tracked anti-tank missile platform designed to significantly bolster the Indian Army's mechanised infantry capabilities. Developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), NAMIS boasts advanced fire-and-forget anti-tank missiles and sophisticated sighting systems, enhancing firepower and lethality against enemy armor.
This procurement marks a significant milestone in modernizing India's anti-tank capabilities, ensuring operational readiness across diverse operational spectrums. The NAMIS has been cleared for use by reconnaissance and support battalions, with the army having approved the induction of 13 Nag missile carriers and 293 missiles a few years ago[1][4].
In addition to the NAMIS contract, the MoD has also signed deals with Force Motors Ltd and Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd for approximately 5,000 light vehicles. These vehicles are designed to provide enhanced mobility to the armed forces, capable of navigating challenging terrains and operational conditions effectively[1][3].
India's defence modernization efforts have gained momentum in recent years, driven by a series of strategic policies and investments:
Budgetary Allocation: The Union Budget 2025 allocated over ₹6.81 lakh crore for defence spending, with a substantial portion dedicated to modernizing military capabilities. A significant emphasis is placed on procuring weapons and equipment from indigenous sources to boost self-reliance in defence manufacturing[1].
Phased Import Bans: To reduce dependence on foreign suppliers, India has implemented phased import bans on several weapon systems, encouraging domestic production and innovation[1].
Increased FDI: The Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) limit in the defence sector was increased from 49% to 74%, facilitating greater foreign participation in India's defence industry[1].
In a broader context, India has been engaged in several large-scale defence procurements to enhance its military capabilities:
The recent defence deals, including the NAMIS and light vehicles, underscore India's resolve to strengthen its military capabilities through a mix of advanced technology and indigenous manufacturing. This strategic approach is pivotal for bolstering operational readiness and enhancing self-reliance in the defence sector, aligning with India's long-term strategic objectives.
