The Indian Army is moving forward with a procurement plan valued at approximately Rs 20,000 crore to acquire advanced munitions and surveillance systems. This initiative aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s broader 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' policy, which emphasizes the domestic development and manufacturing of drone technology and military hardware.

The investment aims to bolster the nation's defense capabilities by integrating indigenous aerial platforms and modern weaponry into the army's operational framework. By prioritizing domestic production, the government seeks to reduce reliance on foreign imports while simultaneously fostering the growth of the local defense industrial sector.
