The Ministry of Defence has signed a deal for the procurement of Next Generation Maritime Mobile Coastal Batteries (Long Range) NGMMCB (LR) and BrahMos missiles, valued at over Rs 1,700 crore.
The acquisition of Mobile Coastal Batteries is aimed at enhancing the Indian Navy's maritime strike capabilities along the coast. Equipped with supersonic BrahMos missiles, these coastal batteries will allow the Indian Navy to target enemy platforms operating close to the Indian coast.
The NGMMCBs, integrated with BrahMos missiles, will be developed and produced indigenously by BAPL as part of the 'Make in India' initiative.
More details awaited.
