Aatmanirbhar Bharat: MoD inks ₹2,000 crore contract with BEL for Air Defence Fire Control Radars for Indian Army
Ministry of Defence (MoD) has signed a contract with Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) for the procurement of Air Defence Fire Control Radars for the Indian Army, worth approximately ₹2,000 crore, under the Buy (Indian-Indigenously Designed Developed and Manufactured) category. The contract was inked and exchanged by senior officials of MoD and BEL in the presence of Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh in New Delhi on July 25, 2025.
With minimum 70 per cent indigenous content, these Fire Control Radars will be able to detect all forms of air-borne threats, including fighter aircraft, attack helicopters and enemy drones. This would mark a significant milestone in the modernisation of the Air Defence Regiments and enhance the Indian Army's operational readiness, while contributing to the economic growth of the nation.
The procurement marks a pivotal step towards empowering indigenous defence industries by encouraging Indian MSMEs through components' manufacturing and raw material supply.
