In a move that underlines the country's growing focus on indigenous defence production, state-owned BEML Limited announced on Tuesday it has secured a new contract worth ₹590 crore. The Ministry of Defence has entrusted BEML with the task of supplying trawl assemblies for the Indian Army's T-72 and T-90 tanks.
