NEW DELHI (PTI): The Indian government has signed a Rs 642-crore contract with Bharat Electronics Limited for procurement of 28 key systems for 11 new-generation offshore patrol vessels and three cadet training ships for the Indian Navy, the defence ministry said.

This is in line with the 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' vision of the government, it said.

The Ministry of Defence, in a statement on Saturday said, it signed the contract with Bharat Electronics Limited in New Delhi for "procurement of 28 EON-51 systems for 11 new-generation offshore patrol vessels and three cadet training ships for the Indian Navy at a total cost of Rs 642.17 crore, including taxes under Buy (Indian-IDDM) category".
