It will provide fire control systems and launchers for Indian Navy ships.

The ministry expects Indian industries, including smaller businesses, to take part.
It says the work will create jobs over three years.
The ministry also says the deal will support India’s maritime security and defence capabilities.
The BrahMos system is the Navy’s main surface-to-surface missile system for maritime strikes.

The procurement is under the Buy (Indian-IDDM) category and requires at least 68% indigenous content.
