Indian Army Set To Adopt New Uniform Promotion Policy Starting January 2024

The Indian Army has announced the introduction of a new promotion and ranking policy, set to take effect from 1 January 2024, reported ANI.

This policy is designed to align with the current and future operational challenges faced by the Army, both domestically and internationally.

Army officials explained that this consistent policy, tailored to the dynamic operational needs of the force, aims to standardise the selection and ranking processes for colonels and higher ranks.
