- The Defence Acquisition Council met Friday after a three-month hiatus to bolster India's defence preparedness amid evolving security challenges along its borders.
- Procurement plans include Man Portable Anti-Tank Guided Missile systems, Active Protection Systems for tanks, and Fixed-Wing Based High Altitude Pseudo Satellites for the Air Force, with deals following 'Buy ' and 'Buy ' categories.
