MoD & BDL sign ₹2,095.70 crore contract for INVAR Anti-tank missiles to enhance lethality of T-90 tank in presence of Defence Secretary Shri Rajesh Kumar Singh at South Block, in New Delhi on November 13, 2025.

Ministry of Defence has inked a contract with Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) for the procurement of INVAR Anti-tank Missiles at a total cost of ₹2,095.70 crore, under the 'Buy (Indian)' category. The contract was signed by senior officials of the Ministry of Defence and representatives of BDL in the presence of Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh at South Block, New Delhi on November 13, 2025.

The procurement of the INVAR Anti-tank Missiles enhances the firepower and lethality of Tank T-90, the mainstay of Armoured Regiments of the Indian Army. The weapon system is a sophisticated laser-guided anti-tank missile with very high hit probability. It is set to transform the conduct of Mechanised operations and offer operational advantage against the adversary.

The procurement underscores the Government's efforts to meet the operational requirements of the Indian Army by leveraging the existing expertise of Defence Public Sector Undertakings, along with development of niche technologies by domestic industries towards achieving Atmanirbharta in defence.
