The Indian Navy Expects New Bharatiya Janata Party Goverment Will Support Procurements Better

The Indian Navy (IN) is expectant that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, which assumes office on 26 May, will approve the purchase of urgently needed equipment such as heavyweight torpedoes for its under-construction Scorpene submarines and advanced towed array sonars (ATAS) for its warships.

"The navy anticipates that prime minister-designate, Narendra Modi's, new administration will be more receptive to the many gaps in its equipment profile," a three-star IN officer told IHS Jane's .

Naval headquarters, he added, is readying its list of long-delayed procurements to present to the new defence minister.
