flag India extends emergency defence procurement deadline to Jan. 15, 2026, to boost readiness amid tensions.

flag India has extended the deadline for signing emergency defence procurement contracts to January 15, 2026, allowing the armed forces more time to finalize urgent purchases like U.S.-made Javelin missiles and Excalibur artillery shells. flag The extension, approved by the Defence Acquisition Council, supports military readiness amid ongoing border tensions and builds on emergency powers granted after Operation Sindoor. flag Up to 20% of the capital budget is reserved for these rapid acquisitions, with strict enforcement: contractors must deliver within one year or face consequences. flag The council plans to reconvene to review major indigenous missile and rocket programmes, balancing immediate needs with long-term defence self-reliance.
