Harshwardhan Zala, from Gujarat, has signed an agreement worth 50 million rupees (£600,000) for the contraption which can help in detect and defuse hidden bombs in fields.
It is said to be better than anything the army currently uses. FANTASTIC
The schoolboy only began work on the prototype last year after reading about the high number of casualties caused by the explosive devices.
The state government part-financed his final version which cost him around 500,000 rupees (£6,000 or $7,300 in the US) - and now wants to explore the possibility of its commercial production.
Overjoyed Harshwardhan - whose dad is an accountant - says he has always been fascinated by science and innovation and has even set up his own company, Aerobatics 7, through which he intends to invent more such gadgets in the future.
