Paras Defence Secures ₹71.68 Crore Order for Submarine Optronic Periscopes
A company called Paras Defence is going to make special spyglasses for submarines.
These spyglasses, called optronic periscopes, help submarines see what's happening above the water, like looking for other ships or submarines.
The Indian government's research group, DRDO, ordered two of these from Paras Defence.
This is a big deal because it means India is making these important high-tech parts itself.
The company will finish making them by September 2026.
They have been making defense technology for a very long time and are proud to help the Indian Navy.
This also helps with the government's plan to make more things in India instead of buying them from other countries.
Paras Defence and Space Technologies Ltd. received a ₹71.68 crore order from DRDO.
The order is for the supply of two Optronic Periscopes for submarine applications.
The equipment will be delivered by September 2026.
Optronic periscopes enhance submarine surveillance, reconnaissance, and targeting capabilities.
The contract supports India's 'Make in India' initiative for defense manufacturing.
