Operation Sindoor Fallout: India Ramps up US Military Ties; Targets Rapid Procurement of Missiles, Drones, Munitions

In response to Operation Sindoor, India fast-tracks over ₹50,000 crore in US arms buys — including Excalibur shells, Javelins, drones, and P‑8I aircraft.

New Delhi – Following Operation Sindoor, India has rushed in over ₹50,000 crore worth of emergency arms procurement from the United States. The effort reflects a strategic pivot in military sourcing and supply lines.

The operation revealed that as much as 81% of Pakistan’s weapons are Chinese-made. Seven out of nine terror targets were neutralized with US-made Excalibur guided shells — underscoring America’s tactical edge. To sustain momentum, India granted emergency powers to the Army, Navy, and Air Force. This allows direct buys of essential equipment—drones, loitering munitions, rockets, missiles—without standard tenders.

Major Contracts Cleared, Wish List Expanding

In June 2025 alone, the Defence Ministry fast-tracked ₹40,000 crore under this emergency window. Overall emergency procurement approval now spans over ₹50,000 crore. The Defence Acquisition Council approved contracts for next-generation corvettes, mine-countermeasure vessels, and rapid-response surface-to-air systems.

India now seeks fresh US deliveries: additional Excalibur shells, Javelin anti-tank missiles, and advanced surveillance platforms. Talks continue to finalise prices for P-8I maritime aircraft and adjust export rules to India’s needs. Pentagon sources indicate possible diversion from US military inventories, highlighting deepening India – US strategic cooperation.

Diversification Amid Global Shifts

Worries over Russia’s growing alignment with China pushed India to broaden its defence sources. This procurement surge demonstrates India’s aim to secure reliable supply lines beyond Russia. American drones and artillery proved effective during Sindoor, validating their operational worth. That performance accelerated the decision to prioritize US suppliers for urgent military upgrades.

Broader Strategic & Industrial Impact

Operation Sindoor has redefined India’s doctrine by combining indigenous and Western systems against Chinese-supplied Pakistani hardware. Officials highlight this campaign as a key turning point in national defence capability and doctrine.

Defense industry leaders report increased global interest in Indian-made defence goods. The procurement spree mirrors this surge and represents a major shift in India’s long-term defence partnerships and supply chain strategies.
