Bharat Forge arm Kalyani Strategic Systems, Thales sign pact to make 70-mm rockets in India

Bharat Forge's subsidiary, Kalyani Strategic Systems, has signed a strategic pact with French aerospace giant Thales to manufacture 70-mm rockets in India. This collaboration aims to meet the growing domestic demand for advanced artillery ammunition while boosting local production capabilities.

For investors, this development is significant as it strengthens Bharat Forge's position in the defence and aerospace sector. It highlights the company's growing role in India's 'Make in India' initiative and could lead to long-term contracts and revenue growth. The move also signals confidence from a global partner in the Indian defence manufacturing ecosystem.

Investors should watch for updates on the project's timeline, the scale of production, and any future orders from the Indian armed forces. The success of this partnership will be a key factor in assessing the long-term growth potential of Bharat Forge's defence business.
