Taneja Aerospace and Aviation Limited (TAAL) has secured a contract for the modification and installation of advanced instrumentation on a fleet of helicopters. The undisclosed Hyderabad-based company awarded the contract, which involves equipping twelve Kamov-31 helicopters with the SARANG Electronic Support Measures (ESM) system.

Developed indigenously by the Defence Electronics Research Laboratory (Hyderabad) under the Samudrika program, SARANG is a sophisticated ESM system specifically designed for Indian Navy helicopters. This project will significantly enhance the electronic warfare capabilities of the Navy’s rotary wing assets.

The contract stipulates the completion of modifications and installations by June 30, 2027, generating an estimated two lakh (200,000) man-days of employment over the three-year period.

The project is expected to encourage the participation of Indian electronics companies and allied industries, including Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) that act as sub-vendors to Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL).

The Indian Navy currently operates a fleet of fourteen Ka-31 helicopters. These were progressively inducted into service, with four arriving in 2003, five in 2005, and the final five in 2013.
