“The government’s ‘Make in India’ programme, and its decision to allow private companies into the highly-regulated defence sector, has opened the door to the massive opportunity matrix in this segment. Utilising this window of opportunity, we have made a strategic entry into the defence segment with an eye on the huge untapped potential it offers for well-integrated entities like ours,” said Satyanarayan Nuwal, Chairman, Solar Industries India Ltd.
Solar Industries will be building world-class facilities to produce Bi-Modular Charge Systems (BMCS), fully integrated Rockets and new generation of hand grenades.
