Context:
Pune-based private defence manufacturer Nibe Ltd. has conducted firing trials of indigenous Suryastra rockets with strike ranges of 150 km and 300 km at the Integrated Test Range. This marks an important milestone in India’s private sector-led defence manufacturing and long-range rocket capability.
- India is promoting defence indigenisation through Make in India, Atmanirbhar Bharat, private sector participation, and reduced dependence on imported weapon systems.
- Rocket systems are artillery weapons used for long-range precision or area strikes, strengthening battlefield firepower and deterrence capability.
- The development reflects the rise of India’s Defence Industrial Base, involving private firms, testing infrastructure like the Integrated Test Range, and indigenous defence technology.
