₹54,000 Crore Defence Boost: Tanks, Torpedoes, and Tech

The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, has approved capital acquisitions worth over ₹54,000 crore to modernize India’s armed forces. Key highlights include:

  • T-90 Tank Upgrades: The Indian Army will receive 1,350 HP engines to replace the current 1,000 HP engines in T-90 tanks. This upgrade enhances battlefield mobility, particularly in high-altitude regions. 

  • Varunastra Torpedoes for Navy: Indigenously developed anti-submarine torpedoes will bolster the Navy's underwater combat capabilities. 

  • AEW&C Aircraft for Air Force: Advanced Airborne Early Warning & Control systems will enhance surveillance and operational readiness. 

This move aligns with the Ministry of Defence’s 2025 ‘Year of Reforms’ initiative, focusing on faster procurement processes to strengthen India’s defence preparedness.
