Pravaig wins the PM award for Innovation in Defence Excellence (iDEX): Bolstering Indian defence to take back control
Technology dependency on foreign entities has proven to be an Achilles’ heel for
not just Ukraine but even India, as evidenced by the GPS denial by the U.S. during the Kargil War. Recent
developments, including U.S. financial and military support for Pakistan with F-16s, further underscore the
urgent need for India to achieve technological sovereignty in defence.
A nation’s defence capability is defined by its industrial base and control over critical technologies. In a major
step towards strategic autonomy, Pravaig has won the prestigious iDEX Award for its VEER Electric
Tactical All-Terrain Vehicle (E-TATV)—a cutting-edge, highly stealthy vehicle designed for forward
patrolling, reconnaissance, and ISR operations.
The iDEX Award is conferred by the Defence Innovation Organisation (DIO) and the Prime Minister’s
Office (PMO) of India, for deepening India’s sovereignty by building cutting edge defence technologies and
reinforcing the country’s strategic autonomy. The mission is clear: to ensure that India builds, owns, and
operates its own advanced defence systems, free from external control.
Pravaig VEER: Built in India, for India
With the Pravaig VEER, India is asserting its control over critical military technologies, ensuring full
sovereignty over its national security infrastructure.

PRAVAIG builds products that leapfrog India’s capabilities.
The strength of a nation’s industrial base is directly proportional to the capacity to deter and defend.
For too long, India’s industrial base has been disregarded and ignored endlessly.
The industrial base we need is a step change.
This is now possible. 🇮🇳
