Indian Army invites firms to offer critical defence equipment for procurement

The Indian Army on Sunday invited the domestic defence industry to offer critical defence equipment for emergency procurement in line with its commitment to "fight future wars with indigenous solutions". The Indian Army also shared links for getting details on Requests for Proposals (RFPs) in a series of tweets.

"In keeping with its commitment to fight the future wars with Indigenous Solutions, #IndianArmy invites Indian Defence Industry to offer critical defence equipment for Emergency Procurement. #IndianArmy #InStrideWithTheFuture," the Army tweeted.

The process will be based on "compressed timelines, wherein the procurement window will be open to the Indian industry for six months and the industry would be expected to deliver equipment within one year of signing the contract," it said.


Procurement cases will be based on "open tender enquiry", the army said.

"Proposals are being fielded for Guns, Missiles, Drones, Counter Drone, Loiter Munition, Communication & Optical systems, specialist Vehicles, Engineering Equipment & Alternate Energy Resources," it said in another tweet.

Since few years, the Indian Army has been focusing on finding indigenous solutions to meet its needs.
