THE DEFENCE MINISTRY has concluded 13 contracts worth ₹1,980 crore under the emergency procurement mechanism to boost the Indian Army's operational readiness in countering cross-border terrorism.
Under the acquisition programme, the Army's integrated drone detection and interdiction systems are being significantly enhanced, officials said.
India has been ramping up the counter-terror grid of the Indian Army to strongly combat Pakistan-backed terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
New Delhi carried out precision strikes on nine terror infrastructures in Pakistani territories on May 7 in response to the horrific Pahalgam terror attack.
The defence ministry said it is procuring military systems like low-level lightweight radars, very short-range air defence missiles and launchers, remotely piloted aerial vehicles and loitering munitions, including vertical take-off and landing systems.
The ministry has concluded contracts, amounting to ₹1,981 crore as against an overall sanctioned outlay of ₹2,000 crore for the Indian Army.
