MoD Signs MoU for Testing Facilities in Tamil Nadu Defence Corridor.

MOUs and Agreement

MoD has signed an MoU to establish advanced testing facilities in Chennai under Tamil Nadu's Defence Corridor. These facilities, focused on Unmanned Aerial System, Electronic Warfare, and Electro Optics, aim to enhance indigenous defence capabilities. The agreement was formalized under the Defence Testing Infrastructure Scheme on July 2, 2024, in New Delhi.


      The DTIS provides up to 75% government funding as ‘Grant-in-Aid’, with the remaining 25% funded by the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPVs), comprising Indian private entities and State/Central Governments.

      These facilities will provide advanced testing equipment and services to bolster self-reliance in defence for both government and private sectors.
