The high-level meeting focused on addressing critical maintenance and sustainment challenges faced by the Armed Forces, with an emphasis on improving inter-service cooperation, resource optimisation and operational readiness.
During the deliberations, senior officers exchanged best practices and discussed measures to streamline maintenance procedures, strengthen logistics support and improve the long-term sustainability of military equipment and operational assets.
Key decisions were taken to enhance tri-services maintenance and sustainment capabilities, with the objective of developing greater synergy and ensuring effective coordination across the three Services.
The committee also reviewed ongoing initiatives aimed at advancing integration and joint capability development while supporting India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative.
