\nDelivering a keynote address at the Maharashtra MSME Defence Expo 2024 at Pune, Gen Pande said that under the Innovations in Defence Excellence (iDEX) procurement, all projects are mandated to be progressed through Start Ups, an official statement said here.
\nHe said, \u201cCurrently under the iDEX route, 55 Indian Army projects, worth Rs 400 crore are being pursued, which encompass a total of 65 Start Ups. As many as four contracts worth Rs 70 crore have been concluded for procurement of equipment in limited quantity for field exploitation. The iDEX route also follows the spiral mode of development of indigenous technology and platforms since exploitation of limited quantity in field conditions, enables concurrent development of equipment based on user recommendations.\u201d
\nGen Pande also mentioned about the Indian Army\u2019s<\/a> in house Ideas and Innovation initiative and informed the gathering about two innovations and the technology transferred to industry for mass production, namely VIDYUT RAKSHAK \u2013 an Internet of Things (IoT) based generator protection system and a bio medical device.
\nHe said that the Indian Army\u2019s endeavour to promote innovation also entails pursuing of Intellectual Property Rights for the products developed in collaboration with the industry and highlighted that 66 IPRs have been filed by the Indian Army to date, of which 13 patents, 05 copyrights and 05 design registrations have been granted.
\nHe, hailing Maharashtra for being one of the major contributors to the nation\u2019s economy, industrial growth, exports and FDI attractiveness, adding that the State was the first in India to frame a Defence Manufacturing Policy after private investment was allowed in the defence sector.
\nMaharashtra has also declared aerospace and defence manufacturing as a thrust sector in the \u2018Package Scheme of Incentives\u2019. As a result of these efforts, the State has been contributing more than 20% to the country\u2019s output in aircrafts, ships and boats and 30% to the national output in weapons and ammunition, the COAS said.
\nThese figures reflect a strategic vision towards promoting the defence industrial sector, he added.
\nThe Indian Army, during the expo, displayed its indigenous equipment and systems such as Tank T-90, BMP Mk-II, Soltam Gun, Dhanush Howitzer, K-9 Vajra, Pinaka Multi Barrel Rocket Launcher, Sarvatra Bridge System, Schilka Gun and Fly Catcher Radar of Army Air Defence, Tavor, Sig Sauer and M4 Assault Rifles, AK-47, Sniper Rifles and various other weapons and equipment.
