India may double missile production
India is looking to double missile production to 100 per month, a senior defence official said here on Wednesday. Distinguished scientist and Director of Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) K Jayaraman said Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL), a public sector undertaking under the Ministry of Defence, is currently producing 50-60 indigenously-developed Akash missiles a month.
Hyderabad: India is looking to double missile production to 100 per month, a senior defence official said here on Wednesday. Distinguished scientist and Director of Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) K Jayaraman said Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL), a public sector undertaking under the Ministry of Defence, is currently producing 50-60 indigenously-developed Akash missiles a month.
Hyderabad-based DRDL is a multi-disciplinary missile system laboratory with thrust on design, development and flight evaluation of various types of missile systems for armed forces. "...the government was insisting that we (BDL), which is the lead integrator of missiles in the country should increase production capacity rate to 100 per month," he said at a public session on “Telangana Moving Forward through Innovation and Entrepreneurship” by CII.
Stressing the need for industry participation to step up production, Jayaraman said it had been recommended to the government to identify a "large industry" which can be lead integrator of missiles and 50-60 medium-scaled industries on the sub-systems front. Many countries, including those in South America, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore, had expressed interest to procure Akash and BrahMos missiles.
