The Indian Army plans to spend approximately 50,000 crore on new weapons and systems this financial year, exceeding its initial capital budget. This increased expenditure is attributed to faster decision-making, emergency procurement powers, and a focus on capability enhancement, with a significant portion of orders benefiting the private sector. Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi stated that the government has assured additional funds if needed, marking a shift from past procurement delays and signaling a commitment to supporting domestic industry.
