By Business DeskIAF Signs Rs 135 Cr Contract with Startup for Mirage Simulators

The Indian Air Force signs a Rs 135 crore deal with an Indian startup for advanced Mirage 2000 fighter jet simulators, boosting Atmanirbhar Bharat.

The Indian Air Force has closed a Rs 135 crore deal with a domestic startup to build advanced part-task simulators for the Mirage 2000 fleet. This pact brings cutting-edge ground training straight to the forces.

Deal Breakdown

Here are the key metrics and participants involved in the defense procurement:

  • Contract Value: Rs 135 crore
  • Buyer: Indian Air Force
  • Target Aircraft: Mirage 2000
  • Initiative: Atmanirbhar Bharat

These part-task trainers focus entirely on specific cockpit duties rather than full flight movement. Pilots can practice weapon selection, radar operation, and threat response without burning fuel on live sorties.

Strategic Modernization

Defense Minister Rajnath Singh also called for maximum digitization and automation at the 279th Annual Day of the Defence Accounts Department. These updates feature real-time balance reviews and automated bill audits to modernize defense finances.

The push for indigenous defense tech directly cuts foreign reliance while scaling up domestic innovation. Expect more local venture tie-ups as the forces aggressively automate ground routines.
