Ammunitions maker Munitions India’s export orders swell to ₹6,000 crore

Munitions India Ltd, the public sector bomb-maker, says its products are in great demand abroad. It has export orders worth ₹6,000 crore, to be supplied over the next three years.

The Pune-headquartered company, which was formed in November 2021 when the Ordnance Factory Board was reorganised into seven Defence PSUs, produces bullets, shells, mortars, rockets and hand grenades at its 12 manufacturing units.

“Every country needs ammunition,” Gnaneshwar Tyagi, Chief General Manager, High Energy Projectile Factory, MIL, told businessline today, adding that among the leading overseas customers are the UAE, Vietnam “and one European country” which he did not wish to name.

“They (MIL) are sitting on a gold mine,” said P. S. Unni Raj, Joint Director, Export Promotion Cell, Department of Defence Production, Ministry of Defence. Tyagi and Raj participated in the ‘International Engineering Sourcing Show’ organised in Coimbatore by the Engineering Export Promotion Council (EEPC).

The outreach programme aims to sensitise MSMEs about the possibility of supplying to the Defence.

Rs 20,000 crore in 2023-24
Raj said India’s exports of defence products would cross ₹20,000 crore in 2023-24 to touch ₹25,000 crore in 2024-25, and ₹35,000 crore in the following year. A presentation by Dr Sanjeev Kumar Joshi, Deputy DEO, Brahmos Aerospace, showed that Defence exports in 2013 were ₹1,050 crore. Joshi, who was present at the EEPC meet, told businessline that India’s Brahmos missiles were in demand all over the world. It was the only cruise missile that was supersonic throughout its flight; others have sub-sonic durations , when they can be intercepted.

While the Phillipines has been in the news lately as a buyer of Brahmos missiles, countries in the MENA region, Latin America and South-East Asia were also interested in buying the missile.

India’s imports-to-exports ratio for defence products has fallen. Imports increased from ₹41,198 crore in 2013-14 to ₹50,061 crore in 2021-22, but exports rose from ₹1,153 crore to ₹12,815 crore, in the same period. In 2013-14, imports were 35 times exports; in comparison, imports were 4 times exports in 2021-22.

Tyagi said MIL would start producing the 125-mm ‘mango’ tank shells, which are capable of piercing a 600mm thick tank skin. The Mango shells are produced in India under licence from Russian armament major Techmash. MIL would produce 6,000 units at its plant in Tiruchi, Tamil Nadu, he said. MIL, he said, was a major procurer of materials from MSMEs — last year it bought₹1,000 crore worth of material from 2,000 MSMEs. The Mango tank shells would need ₹150 crore worth of MSME material.

MIL achieved a turnover of ₹4,200 crore in 2022-23, which is expected to touch ₹7,000 crore in the current financial year and ₹10,000 crore in the next, Tyagi said.

South Indian languages are impossible to learn, don't even try.

You evidently missed the point.

How the hell did I miss this post ????

Did you just say that, and are you a Northie? And you expect us South Indians to still learn Hindi ???

So you agree with the Congressi lot?????

I have never agreed with Hindi imposition.

And yes, to any Pakistani Dravidian languages would be very difficult to learn due to lack of familiarity.

Although Maldivian is an Aryan language so that can be learned. But Tamil Telugu Kannada Malayalam Tulu would be very difficult.

Difficulty is when one's in their spot of comfort, and doesn't want to make the extra effort. The inverse hold good for us Southies too

I really hope you meant for a Pakistani and not for a North Indian, cause if you did - you just agreed with the dirty Congressi lot, who says North and South Indians are not one.

@Oscar is Pakistani.

And I have tried with friends - but quite simply the language inflections are in a different class altogether.

Dravidian languages have absoluely nothing in common with Aryan (Sanskrit based) languages. Most Dravidian languages are spoken in southern India, but there is a language isolate in Pakistan as well. Brahui is spoken in Balochistan, the only Dravid language spoken in the north.

Similiary Maldivian and Sinhala, languages of Maldives and Sri Lanka are also language isolates. These are Aryan languages spoken in deep south.

It is easy for North Indians/Pakistanis to learn German, English,Italian and other languages in the Indo-Aryan group, but to learn languages from other groups requires much more effort.

Another personal observation/opinion - even for native Urdu,Arabic and similar Aryan based languages - it is difficult to understand a fast speaker and easy to lose interest. More latin based languages are easier to understand fast..

However, Ive noticed speakers in South India speak at staggering words per minute or really slow things down with little or no impact on understanding by natives and there is natural inflection in the language to allow for a combination of fast and slow deliberate delivery. Aryan languages do accommodate it but they have a limit - I have encouraged none so with my Experience with dravidian languages speakers.

Either way - too much dithering off topic

I agree.

btw Arabic is a Semitic language, that's why it's written right to left. Urdu is a combination language so it has the best of both worlds.

Land reforms have been present all over India. All Indian states underwent land reforms.

Keralites turned away from communism, so did West Bengal. One of the reasons people had to go to work in the gulf is because they couldn't find employment within their state even after being highly educated and hard working.

Now the disease of communism is being eradicated, it's almost dead in India. Indians are not Chinese, we will not live as slaves.

Finally someone said it

Keralites are still under the spell of communism,the state is completely messed up if you look closely , there are no jobs , nothing new happening in this state except tourism fisheries and rubber
Exactly the same thing what happened in Bengal after decades of communist rule
Their labour unions are making a mess and going as far as demanding gawking charges even from the goods that they have no equipment to load/unload
Here's communism for you -making people equally poor
