India’s Ministry of Defence signed a ₹661.50 crore contract with BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited on October 6, 2026, to procure BrahMos fire-control systems and launchers for Indian Navy ships.
The agreement was signed in New Delhi in the presence of Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh. It falls under the Buy (Indian–IDDM) category and requires at least 68% indigenous content.
BrahMos is the Navy’s principal surface-to-surface missile system for maritime strike missions. The government says the system can engage land and sea targets at extended ranges at supersonic speed. The new procurement is intended for frontline warships.
The project is expected to expand participation by Indian industries, including micro, small and medium enterprises, and generate employment over three years. The Ministry described the deal as part of the effort to strengthen maritime security and increase domestic production of advanced defence technology.
