In a major boost to the Indian Armed Forces, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has inked contracts worth Rs 2,500 crore for the procurement of the Nag Missile System (NAMIS) Tracked version, an advanced anti-tank weapon platform, and approximately 5,000 Light Vehicles. The agreements, signed under the ‘Buy (Indian-Indigenously Designed Developed and Manufactured)’ category, signify a strong push towards self-reliance in indigenous defence manufacturing.

The contracts were finalized in the presence of Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh in New Delhi. Armoured Vehicle Nigam Limited (AVNL) will manufacture the NAMIS (Tr) system, while Force Motors Ltd and Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd will supply the light vehicles.

Advanced NAMIS (Tr) Weapon System to Strengthen Anti-Tank Capabilities

The NAMIS (Tr) weapon system, developed by the Defence Research & Development Laboratory (DRDL) under the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), costs Rs 1,801.34 crore. It marks a significant milestone in modernising the Indian Army’s mechanized infantry, enhancing its anti-tank capabilities across diverse operational scenarios.

NAMIS (Tr) is designed to deliver superior firepower and lethality against enemy armour. It is equipped with a fire-and-forget anti-tank guided missile and an advanced sighting system. The system is expected to redefine mechanised warfare and provide the Indian Army with a crucial operational edge.
