Akash और Astra Missiles के पार्ट बनाने का ठेका सवालों के घेरे में क्यों? BDL | Express Investigation

Описание: The Indian Express Investigation examines questions surrounding Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL), a defence PSU, awarding a ₹56.8 crore optical sights contract to private firm Aindri Defence Advisory Pvt Ltd in May 2026 through a single-tender process. The investigation explores why the procurement approach differed from previous years, when similar contracts went to government-owned India Optel Limited through competitive bidding. It also examines the company’s ownership, its links to former BDL CMD Siddharth Mishra, who later joined the NCLT, its financial records, business dealings, and the unanswered questions surrounding potential conflict of interest. BDL and several parties did not respond to queries.
