As India gears up its counter-UAV capabilities, Paras Anti-Drone has received a ₹461.9 million order from the Defence Ministry for supplying anti-drone systems.
Paras Anti-Drone Technologies Pvt Ltd, a subsidiary of Paras Defence and Space Technologies Ltd, has secured a significant domestic order worth ₹461.9 million from the Ministry of Defence. The order covers advanced anti-drone systems, including drone jammers, for deployment by the Indian armed forces.
The execution is expected by March 2026.
The company highlighted that the deal marks a significant milestone for them in the rapidly expanding counter-UAV sector. It also reinforces their role in supporting the government’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative in defence manufacturing.
Paras Anti-Drone has developed a suite of homegrown solutions capable of neutralising hostile drones in real time. Their offerings include wide-band drone detection and jamming systems, portable drone jammer guns, and agile counter-drone systems.
According to the company, these systems are designed to protect sensitive installations, secure airspace, and maintain operational superiority for defence forces. For instance, the wide-band system operates across 400MHz to 6GHz, with adaptive algorithms and full portability.
Commenting on the development, Ashutosh Baheti, CEO of Paras Anti-Drone Technologies, said:
“This order from the Ministry of Defence underscores the confidence placed in our indigenous capabilities. As drones become both an opportunity and a threat, demand for advanced anti-drone systems is rising. We remain committed to delivering effective, Made-in-India solutions that strengthen our armed forces and safeguard national security.”
The company also provides antennas, radar subsystems, software-defined radios, and electronic warfare systems, addressing evolving requirements in anti-drone operations, situational awareness, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities.
The rising use of drones in both civilian and military contexts has heightened security concerns, too. Unmanned aerial systems are increasingly deployed for surveillance, smuggling, and potential security breaches, creating a pressing need for indigenous counter-drone technologies.
