The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, on Monday approved in-principle acquisition proposals worth around Rs 1.10 lakh crore for the Indian defence forces, with about 98% of the procurements to be sourced from Indian industry.
The council accorded Acceptance of Necessity (AoN), which constitutes in-principle administrative approval, to a range of acquisition proposals for the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force.
