New Delhi, Apr 21 (TNT) : BEML Limited on Tuesday said it has secured a ₹590 crore contract from the Ministry of Defence for the supply of mine trawl assemblies for deployment on the Indian Army’s T-72 and T-90 tanks.
The agreement was formally signed and exchanged between senior officials of the Ministry and BEML in New Delhi.
The trawl systems have been indigenously designed and developed in collaboration with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), including its R&D Engineers unit in Pune, aimed at reducing dependence on imports and supporting the government’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative.
BEML Chairman and Managing Director Shantanu Roy said the order reflects continued trust in the company’s capabilities and highlights the strength of India’s defence R&D ecosystem.
Officials said the advanced mine trawls, equipped with multi-layered mine-clearing mechanisms, will enhance operational effectiveness by enabling safe passage for mechanised forces, thereby improving mobility, survivability and combat readiness in battlefield conditions.
The contract is expected to strengthen India’s indigenous defence manufacturing base and position it as a key player in the global anti-mine equipment segment.
