Indian Defence Ministry Awards $12 Million Anti-Drone Deal to Indrajaal

India’s Ministry of Defence has awarded contracts worth ₹100 crore (about USD 12 million) to Indrajaal for the deployment of its autonomous, multi-layered anti-drone systems across key Indian Army and Indian Navy installations.

Under the agreement, the Indian Army will deploy the systems at strategic locations along the eastern border and other sensitive areas, while the Indian Navy will install them at ports along India’s western seaboard. 

The move expands Indrajaal’s counter-drone technology across both land and naval environments.

Indrajaal’s system is powered by its proprietary SkyOS™ C5ISRT platform, which integrates command and control, cyber defence, intelligence, surveillance and targeting into a single AI-driven architecture. This enables real-time detection and response to aerial threats, reducing reaction times from minutes to seconds.

The counter-drone solution uses a layered defence approach, ranging from cyber takeover to soft- and hard-kill measures, and offers 360-degree coverage of up to 4,000 square kilometres. Its modular design allows deployment across fixed installations, mobile units and naval platforms.

The indigenously developed system is already operational with the Indian Army and the Indonesian Army.

“The Indian Navy will deploy Indrajaal at ports on the western seaboard, while the Indian Army will use it along the eastern border and other strategic locations,” said Kiran Raju, founder and CEO of Indrajaal.
