Cabinet Committee on Security granted approval for a ₹19,000-crore deal, greenlighting the acquisition of over 200 BrahMos extended-range supersonic cruise missiles. The contract, slated for signing in March between BrahMos Aerospace and the Ministry of Defence, aims to bolster the Indian Navy's capabilities. BrahMos Aerospace, a joint venture between India's DRDO and Russia's NPO Mashinostroyeniya, has been instrumental in indigenizing the BrahMos missile system. This decision follows the recent nod for the procurement of maritime surveillance and patrol aircraft, signaling a substantial boost to India's defence capabilities.
