A release said the handing over was held at Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) which, is a nodal agency that has designed and developed the Akash weapon system.

It is inducted by the Army and IAF with an order value worth Rs 30,000 crore, which is one of the largest single-system orders for an indigenous missile system
