Defence Ministry Signs Rs 770 Crore Contract With BEL for Advanced Radars
The Ministry of Defence has 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 aerial targets and small drones, enhancing air defence capabilities against unmanned aerial threats. The procurement supports India's push for indigenisation in defence manufacturing, involving micro, small, and medium enterprises, and aligns with broader goals of self-reliance and strengthening domestic defence production.
