India / Brahmos missile booster will be made in india no dependency over russia

New Delhi : India will no longer have to depend on Russia for a significant part of the missile. Economic Explosives Limited (EEL), a Nagpur-based Solar Group company, has given two units of the booster to BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited (BAPL) used in the super sonic cruise missile Brahmes. Till now India had to buy this booster from Russia. BAPL is an Indo-US Joint Venture. It has units in Hyderabad and Nagpur.

Work is also going on in these units on a smaller version of the BrahMos missile. Their size will be three times smaller than the current BrahMos and they can attack up to 300 km. At the same time, EEL is the first company in India to manufacture boosters. This company has got an order to make 20 boosters. BAPL Managing Director Ajit Raan said there is more to be expected from the company. It may be able to make more boosters in the future. He said that the company would need at least 8 boosters in a month.

Rane said the booster is part of a three-process component to make the missile. It was imported from Russia. Seeker, sustainer engine and booster are needed in the missile only at the start. Now these boosters will be available in India only. At the same time, Solar Group Chairman Satyanarayan Nuwal said that the work of making warheads will start soon. In 2018 there was a transfer of technology with Solar Group. Nuwal said that this is a big achievement in terms of self-reliant India.

According to the Times of India report, BAPL makes several variants of the missile. BAPL has also received orders from Philippines. India can also export missiles in future. Explain that the booster is used to give a certain speed to the missile's engine. Earlier, EEE had also given indigenous 300 mm cartridges to the Indian Army. They are used for air defense on the ship.
