Indian Defence Industry Development

HAL-Boeing: Boeing has signed a contract worth 4.7 m USD with the HAL for supplying equipment for the eight P-8I maritime reconnaissance aircraft contracted for the Indian Navy. The Contract is part of the 640 m USD Offset requirements to be fulfilled by Boeing for the USD 2.1 billion P-8I deal signed in 2009.

Anjani Technoplast-BAE: BAE Systems has tied up with Anjani Technoplast to supply 59,000 bullet-proof jackets to security forces as part of a Govt. contract that is expected to cost Rs 160 Crore. Besides the jackets, Anjani Technoplast would manufacture vehicle armour using Tensylon, a lightweight ultra high molecular weight polyethylene material developed by BAE systems.

BEL Plans to Expand EW Capability: BEL is setting up a Central Research Laboratory (CRL) which will focus on ‘complex’ research on futuristic technologies in the area of EW. BEL already has two CRLs one each in Bangalore and Ghaziabad. The Lab will focus on both EW and EO Warfare. The EW business of BEL contributes close to 17 % to the company’s revenues of about Rs 4,800 Crore. BEL wants to double the EW/EO business in two years.
