Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has awarded DCX Systems a contract valued at ₹68.05 crores for specialized antennas and power supply systems for airborne platforms, as announced on 5 March 2026. This order supports India's Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, emphasizing domestic procurement.

DCX, known for its expertise in defense electronics, aims to enhance its long-term partnership with HAL, which has increasingly sourced from local suppliers. The contract bolsters DCX's order book, which exceeded ₹1,500 crores by late 2025, and reflects a strategic pivot towards reducing import dependency in India's defense sector. Analysts predict more orders from HAL as military modernization accelerates.
