In a significant push for self-reliance in defence manufacturing, the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, on Thursday granted Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) for 10 capital acquisition proposals valued at approximately Rs 1.05 lakh crore. As per an official statement, all these procurements will be sourced indigenously, further strengthening India’s commitment to ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ in defence production.
