The Indian Army has invited the domestic defence industry for the emergency procurement of critical equipment.

"In keeping with its commitment to fight the future wars with Indigenous Solutions, Indian Army invites Indian Defence Industry to offer critical defence equipment for Emergency Procurement", a tweet from the Army's Additional Directorate General of Public Information said.

The Army has invited proposals for guns, missiles, drones, counter-drone, loiter munition, communication and optical systems. It has also invited the proposals for specialist vehicles, engineering equipment, and alternate energy resources.

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

The Procurement cases will be based on Open Tender Enquiry.
