DAC Approves ₹1.05 Lakh Crore Indigenous Defence Procurement
What Happened
The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), led by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, approved ten capital procurement proposals worth Rs 1.05 lakh crore on July 3, 2025. All projects fall under the 'Buy (Indian-IDDM)' category, covering QRSAM systems, Armoured Recovery Vehicles, and Electronic Warfare equipment for the tri-services.
Why It Matters
This move strengthens national security and self-reliance by prioritizing 100 percent indigenous design and manufacturing, significantly reducing import dependency in the defence sector.
