The Indian Ministry of Defence has signed a contract worth ₹100 crore (approximately USD11 million) with Hyderabad-based Indrajaal to deliver advanced multi-layered autonomous anti-drone systems. These systems will be deployed to safeguard critical Indian Army and Navy installations.
According to Kiran Raju, founder and CEO of Indrajaal, “Indrajaal will be deployed by naval ports on the western seaboard, while the Indian Army will deploy it on the eastern border as well as other strategic locations”. He continued, “these orders represent a defining step for India’s defence ecosystem. As autonomous systems are deployed across Army and Naval installations, we are enabling an airspace that can sense, decide, and respond at machine speed, strengthening national security through autonomy, resilience, and indigenous innovation”
Indrajaal introduced its Infra solution in May last year, aimed at protecting high-value infrastructure such as nuclear facilities, oil refineries, ports, airports, and energy grids from drone threats. The system is designed to provide comprehensive airspace security across large areas.
“Built on Indrajaal’s advanced SkyOS™ platform, Indrajaal Infra offers autonomous, real-time airspace security across vast areas up to 4,000 sq km,” the company stated in a press release. “The system integrates AI-driven threat detection with a layered defence approach – combining sensors, spoofers, jammers, and command intelligence – to deliver 24/7 autonomous protection against rogue drones.”
The technology was first deployed in 2025 at naval ports in Gujarat and Karnataka, marking a significant step in India’s efforts to counter drone-based threats.
