India Signs Rs 4,106 Crore Contracts for IAF Satellite and Navy Torpedoes
The Indian Ministry of Defence signed contracts worth Rs 4,106 crore for two key acquisitions: the GSAT-7C communication satellite for the Indian Air Force and Varunastra heavyweight torpedoes for the Navy. The GSAT-7C, developed by New Space India Limited, will enhance secure and resilient communication for the Air Force, while the Varunastra torpedoes, produced by Bharat Dynamics Limited, will boost the Navy's anti-submarine warfare capabilities. Both contracts support India's push for indigenous defence manufacturing under the 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' and 'Make-in-India' initiatives.
