In a significant boost to India’s indigenous defence capabilities, Paras Defence and Space Technologies Ltd has bagged two contracts worth a total of ₹35.68 crore from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) for the supply of Portable Counter-Drone Systems designed to detect, identify, and neutralise hostile unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
Both contracts are scheduled for completion by May 2026, reinforcing the company’s growing role in India’s counter-drone ecosystem.
Strengthening India’s Counter-Drone Shield
The systems will enhance India’s ability to respond to the increasing threat of rogue drones used for surveillance, smuggling, and cross-border attacks. The company’s modular design approach integrates advanced technologies for detection, tracking, classification, and neutralisation, ensuring protection of both military and civilian airspace.
Additional MoD Order for RF Jammers
Paras Defence’s subsidiary, Paras Anti-Drone Technologies Pvt. Ltd., also received a separate ₹3.95 crore MoD order for the supply of Radio Frequency (RF) jammers capable of both drone detection and disruption. This contract too will be executed by May 2026.
Trusted Partner in Defence Innovation
According to Ashutosh Baheti, CEO of Paras Anti-Drone Technologies, the repeat orders within two months reflect the government’s continued trust in Paras Defence’s technological expertise.
“These projects highlight our commitment to advancing India’s counter-drone preparedness and ensuring technological self-reliance in the defence sector,” Baheti said.
Supporting ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ Vision
The contracts come at a time when India is rapidly expanding its anti-drone architecture under the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative. The MoD’s reliance on homegrown firms like Paras Defence signals a broader shift towards indigenous innovation and reduced dependence on foreign systems.
With UAV-related risks growing worldwide, Paras Defence’s expanding portfolio positions it as a key contributor to India’s national security, supporting the country’s mission to stay ahead in emerging aerial warfare technologies.
