Paving the Path to India’s Technological Sovereignty in Defence
New Delhi: In a landmark achievement for India’s defence innovation landscape, Pravaig has been honored with the prestigious iDEX Award for its groundbreaking Veer Electric Tactical All-Terrain Vehicle (E-TATV). This award, conferred by the Defence Innovation Organisation (DIO) in collaboration with the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), recognizes Pravaig’s role in advancing India’s strategic autonomy and strengthening national security.
Breaking Free from Foreign Dependency
India’s growing realization of technological vulnerability has become a focal point following instances like the U.S. GPS denial during the Kargil War and the recent financial and military support to Pakistan for its F-16 fleet. Such events have underscored the importance of building indigenous defence capabilities.
The Veer E-TATV represents a significant leap in achieving self-reliance, ensuring India maintains control over its critical defence technologies. Designed for forward patrolling, reconnaissance, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations, Veer is a testament to India’s engineering prowess and strategic foresight.
Pravaig Veer: Redefining Tactical Superiority
The Veer E-TATV is equipped with an array of advanced features that ensure optimal performance in high-stakes defence operations:
- 100% Indian Technology: Developed entirely within India, Veer stands as a powerful example of indigenous innovation meeting and exceeding global standards.
- Class-Leading Stealth: The vehicle’s advanced stealth features make it ideal for covert operations and critical military engagements.
- Extreme Power and Durability: Designed with military-grade specifications, Veer combines strength with agility to excel in rugged environments.

Driving India’s Defence Future
Pravaig’s triumph in securing the iDEX Award highlights the nation’s commitment to advancing its defence industrial base. By fostering homegrown technological innovation, India is steadily reducing its reliance on foreign systems, thereby enhancing national security.
With Pravaig Veer poised to become a critical asset for Indian defence forces, the victory signals a decisive step towards a future where India’s security framework is firmly in Indian hands.
