L&T has entered a strategic collaboration with France-based Exail to deliver an advanced Unmanned Mine Counter-Measure Suite for the Indian Navy's Mine Counter Measure Vessels programme.

The suite will include autonomous and remotely operated systems for detecting, classifying, identifying and neutralising naval mines safely. The partnership aligns with the government's Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India initiatives, emphasising local industrial collaboration and capability development in India's naval defence manufacturing ecosystem.
This partnership strengthens L&T's position in the naval defence sector and provides visibility into a major programme for 12 vessels. The deal reinforces Indo-French defence cooperation and supports India's goal of building a self-reliant naval defence manufacturing ecosystem.
