Centum Electronics Limited, one of India’s most respected names in Electronics Systems Design and Manufacturing (ESDM), has announced a significant teaming agreement with Indra Air Traffic Inc, the global technology leader known for its advanced work in defence, air traffic management, and space solutions. The partnership signals a major step forward for India’s ambition to strengthen technological independence and accelerate defence modernization.
The agreement brings Centum and Indra together to manufacture advanced air navigation systems in India, specifically designed to meet the operational needs of the Indian Navy. For the country, this means access to world-class technology engineered and produced on Indian soil—an important move aligned with the Government of India’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat vision.
By blending Centum’s strong innovation culture, its deep investments in high-reliability manufacturing, and its proven engineering expertise with Indra’s global knowledge base and next-generation solutions, the partnership creates a powerful platform for indigenous capability building. It positions India to deliver mission-ready systems that elevate safety, enhance connectivity, and provide a strategic edge to its armed forces.
The collaboration also marks a new benchmark for India’s defence manufacturing ecosystem, showcasing how global-Indian partnerships can advance the country’s self-reliance goals without compromising on technical sophistication or quality. With cutting-edge air navigation systems soon to be developed domestically, the Indian Navy stands to gain tools that are robust, future-ready, and tailored to its demanding operational environment.
