Defence Ministry Signs Rs 770 Crore Contract With BEL for Advanced Low-Level Radars
The Ministry of Defence signed a Rs 770 crore contract with Bharat Electronics Limited to procure Improved Low Level Light Weight Radars (LLLR-I) for the Indian Army. These radars can detect and track fighter-sized aircraft and mini to micro drones, with automated target prioritisation to enhance air defence against unmanned aerial threats. The procurement supports India's push for indigenisation, involving micro, small, and medium enterprises, and aligns with the government's vision for a self-reliant defence industry by 2047.
