Defence Current Affairs 06 July 2025
Delhi HC Dismisses 200+ MoD Pleas Against Disability Pension
The Delhi High Court has dismissed over 200 petitions of the Ministry of Defence challenging the Armed Force Tribunal’s order holding a number of defence personnel entitled for disability pension for their respective disabilities.
Disability pension cannot be denied to defence personnel solely on the ground that the onset of the disability occurred while they were posted at a peace station or by contending that it is a lifestyle disease, it said, while noting that military service is inherently stressful due to a combination of factors.
A bench of Justices Navin Chawla and Shalinder Kaur said that granting disability pension is not an act of generosity but a rightful and just acknowledgement of the sacrifices endured by defence personnel which manifest in the form of disabilities/ disorders suffered during their military service.
The purpose of granting disability pension to personnel of the Indian Armed Forces is to provide necessary financial support to those who have sustained a disability or illness during the course of their service due to service conditions, the bench said in its 85-page common judgment passed on July 1.
The court said such the pension ensures that a soldier who suffers injury or disability due to service conditions is not left without support and is able to live with financial security and dignity.
It is a measure that upholds the States responsibility towards its soldiers, who have served the nation with courage and devotion, it added.
The central government, through the Ministry of Defence, challenged the tribunal’s orders on the grounds that the Release Medical Board (RMB) had clearly opined that the medical condition of the defence personnel suffering from hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus Type II was neither attributable to nor aggravated by military service.
17th BRICS Summit
- Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi participated in the 17th BRICS Summit, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on 6–7 July 2025, marking a significant step in India’s diplomatic engagements with the BRICS nations – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The summit witnessed wide-ranging and productive discussions on critical issues such as reform of global governance, peace and security, multilateral cooperation, development priorities, and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

He highlighted the need for greater support for developing nations, particularly in accessing climate finance and advanced technology for sustainable development.
- He emphasized that 20th-century global institutions are not equipped to face 21st-century challenges, making urgent reforms necessary.

He appreciated the summit’s strong language on the urgency of UNSC reforms in the ‘Rio de Janeiro Declaration’.
- On the topic of peace and security, the Prime Minister condemned terrorism, calling it a grave threat to humanity. Referring to the Pahalgam terror attack in April 2025, he asserted that it was not just an assault on India but an attack on all of humanity.

He also thanked the BRICS leaders for strongly condemning the Pahalgam attack and called for unified efforts to combat the menace globally.
- The Prime Minister also expressed concern over the ongoing conflicts from West Asia to Europe, reiterating India’s consistent stance advocating for dialogue and diplomacy as the only viable means to resolve disputes.

- He proposed four key suggestions to enhance BRICS cooperation:
- BRICS New Development Bank should follow a demand-driven approach and prioritize long-term sustainability in funding projects.
- Establishment of a Science and Research Repository to benefit the Global South.
- Strengthening and securing the supply chains of critical minerals to build resilience.
- Promoting responsible use of Artificial Intelligence – ensuring AI governance while encouraging innovation in the sector.
- Conclusion and the Rio de Janeiro Declaration
- The summit concluded with the adoption of the ‘Rio de Janeiro Declaration’, encapsulating the collective vision of the BRICS nations to reform global institutions, combat terrorism, strengthen multilateralism, and promote inclusive and sustainable development, particularly through emerging technologies like AI.

India Secures Strategic Lithium Deals in Argentina
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ground breaking bilateral visit to Argentina on July 5-6, 2025, marked a watershed moment in India’s quest for critical mineral security, particularly lithium, as both nations deepened their strategic partnership across multiple sectors.
- This historic visit—the first by an Indian PM to Argentina in 57 years—has resulted in significant agreements that position India as a key player in Argentina’s lithium-rich landscape within the globally significant “Lithium Triangle.”
- The strategic importance of this partnership cannot be overstated, as Argentina holds approximately 22 million metric tons of lithium reserves, making it the world’s second-largest holder of lithium resources after Bolivia, accounting for around 20-21% of global lithium reserves.
- Two major Indian public sector companies—Coal India Limited and Khanij Bidesh India Limited (KABIL)—have signed five concession agreements and are working on finalizing investments to produce, refine, and export lithium minerals.

- This strategic partnership is designed to foster long-term cooperation across multiple domains of shipbuilding and maritime development, aligning closely with India’s national maritime ambitions under the Maritime India Vision 2030 and the Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047.
- The MoU outlines several key areas of collaboration. These include the joint exploration of newbuilding opportunities both in India and internationally, sharing of technical expertise to elevate shipbuilding standards to global benchmarks, and identification of initiatives to improve productivity and capacity utilization within shipyards.
TASL ALS-250, Indigenous Loitering Munition
- TATA Advanced Systems Limited’s (TASL) ALS-250 represents a significant leap in India’s indigenous defence capabilities, particularly in the domain of long-range precision strike weaponry.
- The ALS-250 is a fully indigenous loitering munition, engineered to deliver high-precision strikes at ranges up to 250 kilometers.
- Its deployment can significantly alter the operational calculus by threatening a range of high-value military and strategic assets, thereby enhancing India’s deterrence posture and offering a credible option for punitive or pre-emptive actions in the event of hostilities.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to inaugurate Controllers’ Conference 2025
- The Defence Accounts Department (DAD) will host the Controllers’ Conference 2025 from July 7 to 9 at the Dr SK Kothari Auditorium, DRDO Bhawan, New Delhi.
- The conference will be inaugurated by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on July 7, in the presence of top military and civilian leadership including Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, the three service chiefs, Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh, Financial Adviser (Defence Services), S G Dastidar, and Controller General of Defence Accounts Mayank Sharma, marking it as a key platform for shaping the future of India’s defence financial architecture said Ministry of Defence.
- A flagship forum for policy dialogue, strategic review, and institutional innovation, the Controllers’ Conference brings together top leadership from DAD, the civil service, academia, think tanks, and stakeholders across the defence and finance sectors. It serves as a vital platform for evaluating challenges, initiating reform, and advancing the role of financial governance in defence preparedness.
- The theme of this year’s conference, ‘Transforming Financial Advice, Payment, Audit and Accounting through Defence Finance and Economics,’ reflects a paradigm shift within the department, repositioning DAD from a finance & accounts body to a future-ready institution focused on Defence Finance and Economics. This transformation, guided by the strategic vision articulated by the Raksha Mantri on October 01, 2024, is internally driven, inclusive, and aligned with emerging national security imperatives.
- The transition is anchored in DAD’s new mission statement and Motto ‘Alert, Agile, Adaptive’ which will be formally released during the event.
- The conference will feature eight high-level business sessions (Manan Satras), covering areas such as budget and accounts reform, internal audit restructuring, collaborative research, pricing innovation, and capacity building. These sessions will explore the evolving role of Integrated Financial Advisors (IFAs) in balancing fiscal prudence with strategic support for a competitive and self-reliant defence industry.
- Managing a defence budget of Rs 26.8 lakh crore, including Rs 1.7 lakh crore dedicated to pensions, DAD plays a pivotal role in payroll, pension disbursement, audit, procurement pricing, and strategic financial advice.
- Aligned with the MoD’s declaration of 2025 as the Year of Reform, the conference is expected to yield actionable outcomes that will fortify India’s defence financial architecture–driven by Atmanirbhar Bharat and committed to maximum governance with minimum government.
