Kalyani Rafael Advanced Systems rolls out the first batch of indigenous missiles for Indian Army

Kalyani Rafael Advanced Systems (KRAS) on Tuesday rolled out its first batch of medium-range surface-to-air missiles (MRSAM) for the Indian Army and the Air Force from its Hyderabad plant.

KRAS is a joint venture between the Kalyani Group and Israel’s Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. This was part of the company's agreement to deliver over 1000 MRSAM missile kits to the Indian Army and Air Force over the coming years.

These missile sections will then be further integrated by state-run Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL).


“This is beginning of a new era, filled with self-confidence, a marked step-change in technological expertise and a collective demonstration of capability to be the global manufacturing hub for defence products. We are confident to complete the order far ahead of the stipulated time and support the armed forces with the best-in-class missile kits,” Baba Kalyani, chairman of Kalyani Group said in a statement.
