The ₹293 crore contract for the Suryastra Rocket System marks a significant step in strengthening India’s indigenous defence manufacturing ecosystem. NIBE Limited, in collaboration with Israel, is responsible for delivering this advanced weapon system to the Indian Army. The Suryastra system is India’s first indigenously manufactured universal multi-calibre rocket launcher, capable of firing multiple rocket types from a single platform. With precision strike ranges of up to 300 km and the ability to deploy loitering munitions up to 100 km, NIBE Limited’s involvement highlights India’s growing emphasis on technological self-reliance and modern military capabilities.
