The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, has approved ₹21,772 crore for five major defence acquisitions. This ambitious plan focuses on enhancing India’s defence across maritime, air, and land domains, addressing future combat and security requirements.
Total Budget: ₹21,772 crore.
Focus Areas: Maritime, air, and land defence.
Key Assets: Water Jet Fast Attack Crafts, Fast Interceptor Craft, Su-30 MKI upgrades, ALH helicopters, and tank modernisation.
The DAC approved the procurement of 31 New Water Jet Fast Attack Crafts (NWJFACs) for the Indian Navy, valued for their versatility in low-intensity maritime operations. Additionally, 120 Fast Interceptor Craft (FIC-1) will bolster escorting and protection for high-value naval assets. These acquisitions ensure robust coastal surveillance, counter-piracy, and security measures.
In the aviation sector, the DAC approved an advanced Electronic Warfare Suite (EWS) for Su-30 MKI fighter aircraft. This suite includes next-generation radar warning receivers and external jammer pods, enhancing the aircraft’s survivability in modern combat scenarios.
