The defence ministry signed a Rs 661.50 crore contract for BrahMos fire-control systems and launchers for Indian Navy warships, with a stated minimum of 68 percent indigenous content.
India’s Ministry of Defence has signed a contract worth Rs 661.50 crore for BrahMos fire-control systems and launchers, The Economic Times reported on Tuesday. The systems are to be fitted on Indian Navy warships for maritime strike operations.
The paper said the contract is meant to strengthen maritime security and includes a minimum indigenous content of 68 percent, with work for Indian industry. It did not name the signing companies in the dispatch used here.
BrahMos is the supersonic cruise missile programme already deployed by the Navy. This order covers launchers and fire control rather than a new missile variant, according to the report.
No delivery schedule or ship count was given in the available text. The figure is the contract value as stated by the Economic Times, not an independent audit.
The deal sits with other same-day defence notes, including a US Navy fighter award to Boeing reported by the Japan Times, but those are separate procurement decisions.
