Defense News , India :- Indian Navy Chief Admiral R Hari Kumar has declared that the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile will become the primary weapon of the Indian Navy, supplanting older missile systems acquired from other countries. In an interview with ANI, Admiral Kumar stated, "BrahMos will be our primary weapon now as the surface-to-surface missile weapon." He also indicated that the Indian Air Force and its fighter aircraft might adopt BrahMos as their primary air-to-surface weapon. He praised BrahMos for its evolution in range, capabilities, and lethality, emphasizing that the missile is "a very potent missile."Admiral Kumar highlighted the advantage of BrahMos being manufactured in India. He noted, "It is made in India, so we are not dependent on anybody else. It can be repaired, and spares are available." This self-reliance, he added, is a significant advantage for the Indian Navy."It is a very potent missile, and it has been evolving also, in range capability and so on. So the fact is that it is made in India, so we are not dependent on anybody else. It can be repaired, and spares are available. So it's a great advantage," he said.The Navy chief's comments follow the Cabinet Committee on Security's clearance of a deal for over 200 BrahMos missiles under a Rs 19,000 crore contract, expected to be signed on March 5. Admiral Kumar made these remarks on the sidelines of the closing ceremony of the Defence Expo in Pune, where he emphasized the significance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in India's quest to achieve self-reliance in defence manufacturing.During his visit to the Defence Expo, Admiral Kumar visited various stalls of MSMEs involved in defence manufacturing. He praised the exhibition for bringing together several MSMEs, highlighting the importance of developing an ecosystem and environment for indigenization in defence manufacturing.The Navy Chief said, "This is a unique exhibition. They have been able to bring together several MSMEs... It is very important that we develop the ecosystem and environment for indigenization. Defence Expos facilitate this and encourage indigenous production... MSME expos like this have huge significance. Over 118 contracts have been signed and around 10-12 products have also been approved. There are a lot of things we are getting from MSMEs and startups."The Defence Expo in Pune saw the participation of a large number of MSMEs, private companies, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) laboratories, and Defence Public Sector Unit (DPSU) setups in Maharashtra. This reflects India's progress towards achieving self-reliance in defence and the integration of Armed Forces' requirements, research and development, and defence production by public and private players.

Defense News ,India :-  Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday inaugurated the Ammunition & Missiles Complex, the first leg of the state’s defence corridor in the presence of Chief of Army Staff, Gen Manoj Pande.According to Ashish Rajvanshi, CEO, Adani Defence, nearly 4000 jobs will be generated in this complex with five times the multiplier effect on MSMEs and the local ecosystem benefiting from it indirectly and an investment plan of Rs 3000+ crore.The Adani ammunition centre is South Asia’s largest ammunition manufacturing complex and has been dedicated to the brave warriors of the Balakot strike who carried out 'Operation Bandar' in response to the Pulwama attack that claimed the lives of 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) soldiers.The two units are being projected as a symbol of India's journey towards self-reliance and technological prowess in the defence sector.Spread over 500 acres, the facility in Kanpur is set to become one of the largest integrated ammunition manufacturing complexes. It will produce small, medium and large calibre ammunition for the armed forces, paramilitary forces and police. The facility has started rolling out small calibre ammunition, starting with 150 million rounds estimated at 25 per cent of India’s annual requirement.Moreover, Adani Group will be signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the aerospace department of IIT Kanpur, as per Karan Adani.In 2022, Uttar Pradesh Industrial Development Authority (UPIDA) had inked memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Adani Aerospace and Defence and several other firms to develop Kanpur as South Asia's largest manufacturing facility for arms and ammunition.Consequently, the Adani Defence System and Technologies Limited (ADSTL) acquired 202 hectares of land and laid the plan to develop four manufacturing units with state-of-the art technology to build small and medium calibre ammunition, along with short-range air defence missiles.Thereafter, the company formed Carroballista Systems Limited (CSL) and Agneya Systems Limited (ASL) through which it would manufacture around 12 types of guns (with the Israeli firm Elbit System) in addition to making 40 types of ammunition and rocket systems (with Bulgarian firm Armaco JSCO).The Adani unit will also manufacture light machine gun NEGEV, assault rifles ACE and TAVOR, 9mm pistol Masada, sub-machine gun Uzi, sniper rifles Galil and DAN, in collaboration with Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) at Saadh."It will be a key facilitator in India's goal of achieving $5.0 billion exports in defence manufacturing," said Rajvanshi.According to the deputy commissioner, industries, Kanpur, the CSL will manufacture 300 units of gun system per year for 155 mm calibre to 200 mm calibre, on the five acres of land provided on lease by ADSTL."The CSL has claimed to generate 1,000 jobs indirectly from their unit," said Srivastava.Further, the arms manufacturing licence of ASL and ADSTL revealed that every year the group will also manufacture 50,000 units each of bi-modular charge system (BMCS) for artillery guns, anti-aircraft movable rockets, 155mm smoke projectiles, 155 mm artillery shells, mortars (81, 84 and 120 mm), 5 lakh hand grenades, 4 lakh piece of 40mm rocket-propelled grenade and other varied calibre of armour-piercing, high-explosive anti-tank ammunition, and different types of demolition charges.According to the latest SIPRI report, with an 11 per cent share of total global arms imports, India was the world’s biggest importer of major arms from 2018 to 2022, a position it has held for the period 1993–2022.It retained this position even though its arms imports dropped by 11 per cent between 2013–17 and 2018–22.The decrease was attributed to several factors including attempts to replace imports with major arms that are designed and produced domestically, India’s slow and complex arms procurement process and efforts to diversify its arms suppliers.

Defense News, India :-  Larsen & Toubro (L&T) Defence is Working on a new rotary-wing vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle and is made for the Indian Army. This is a big deal for L&T as it steps into the growing drone market, making India's defense stronger.Working Together: Even though we don't know exactly who L&T worked with, some experts think it might be a Swedish company called CybAero. They say this because L&T's drone looks a lot like CybAero's "APID One" model, which might mean they used a similar design. Sources say L&T and this partner have been working on this project for about a year.Current Capabilities: The initial version of the L&T UAV boasts an impressive range of functionalities, including:Range: It can go up to 100 km.Endurance: It can stay in the air for 4 hours.Maximum speed: It can fly as fast as 120 km/h.Payload capacity: It can carry up to 40 kg.Operating altitude: It can reach up to 3,000 m.Looking Ahead: L&T is not resting on its laurels. They are currently developing an advanced version specifically tailored to the Indian Army's Requirements. This improved model should be ready in the next two years (by 2024) and will have:Operating altitude: It can go up to 5,500 m.Endurance: It can stay in the air for 6 hours.Maximum speed: It can fly at a maximum speed of 140 km/h.Payload capacity: It can carry more than 40 kg.These upgrades show that L&T is serious about giving the Indian Army a powerful and flexible drone for different jobs like including surveillance, logistics, and reconnaissance.Testing and Adoption: We don't have a lot of details, but talks are happening about the Indian Army trying out the first version of L&T's drone soon. This testing part is really important to see if the drone works well and if the Indian military might start using it.L&T getting into the drone world is a big step for India to be more independent in defense. How well this project goes can decide what future air battles and spying look like for the Indian Army.

Defense News ,India :- In a significant move, the Indian Government has recently prohibited 17 Chinese companies from participating in tenders in the country. The ban extends beyond the companies themselves to include Indian entities that sell products from these companies. The decision comes as a response to concerns about Chinese products entering the Indian market through rebranding and collaborations with Indian partners, potentially compromising the strategic and security interests of India. This article delves into the details of the ban, shedding light on the companies affected and the implications for India's procurement practices.Background and IntroductionThe ban, announced at the end of January, targets a range of Chinese companies, including Xp-pen, Highvision Hikvision, Lenovo, Dahua, Lava, Ottomate, Xolo, Airpro, Grandstream, Wi-Tek, Realtime, Maxhub, Nokia, Domino, Reputer, and Tyco. The government has not only restricted their participation in tenders but also cautioned private companies doing business with the government against utilizing products from these Chinese entities.Crackdown on Chinese Products in IndiaThis move follows revelations from The Sunday Guardian last year about the usage of Chinese products in government public sector undertakings operating in strategic sectors. The ban is aimed at curbing the influx of Chinese products that attempt to conceal their origin by changing brand names and collaborating with Indian entities. This practice not only impacts India's strategic and security concerns but also benefits the Chinese economy.Details of the BanThe official government order dictates the removal of Indian sellers associated with these Chinese brands from the Government e Marketplace (GeM). Consequently, these sellers are disqualified from participating in any bids on GeM. The order also empowers GeM to cancel orders where products from these Chinese companies are identified in the bidding process.The highest number of banned products, seventy in total, belong to Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co., Ltd. - a major supplier to Indian government agencies. DNS overseas, a player in the Indian tablet market associated with the Beijing-based Hanvon Ugee Group, has also been delisted from the GeM portal.Specific Companies and Products BannedLenovo, a Chinese-origin company founded in 1984, has 22 products, including servers, banned. It is reported to have ties with the Chinese military through the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).   Zhejiang Dahua Technology Company Limited, specializing in video surveillance equipment, has five products banned. Lava International, despite being perceived as an Indian company, has nineteen products banned. These include smartphones, fans, and tablets, all manufactured in China. Airpro, Grandstream, Wi-Tek, Realtime, Maxhub, Nokia, Domino, Reputer, and Tyco also face product bans.Exclusion of Certain Companies Raises QuestionsNotably, the list does not include entities with significant Chinese investments and control operating in India, such as Huawei, Alcatel Lucent (now owned by Chinese promoters), TvT, Tiandy Technologies, and Uniview. These companies have a substantial presence in India and have engaged with government agencies over an extended period.Committee Oversight and Future ExpansionsA Registration Committee under the Department of Expenditure Order, chaired by Manmeet Kaur Nanda, was formed on August 6, 2020. This committee evaluates applications from countries sharing a land border with India for participation in public procurement. Nanda, now with the Cabinet Secretariat, has overseen this committee, but officials suggest that the current list is not exhaustive. More companies may be added based on ongoing assessments and inputs received.The Indian Government's ban on 17 Chinese companies from tenders marks a crucial step in safeguarding national security and interests. The focus on GeM and the removal of associated sellers indicate a determination to scrutinize and control the procurement process. As the situation evolves, industry insiders and security experts will closely watch for potential expansions to the list and the inclusion of companies currently absent from the ban. This move underscores India's commitment to securing its strategic sectors from potentially compromised products with origins in China.
