In a bold and timely strategic move, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has finalised 13 contracts worth Rs 1,981.90 crore under its Emergency Procurement (EP) mechanism. The objective is clear: to rapidly enhance the Indian Army’s ability to tackle modern security challenges, especially in sensitive areas like Jammu and Kashmir. But this isn’t merely about buying weapons — it’s a comprehensive push toward upgrading operational capability, boosting troop protection, and embracing self-reliance in defence manufacturing.
