Hyderabad: Hyderabad-based Sigma Advanced Systems said it has secured an export order worth $11.4 million (about Rs 107 crore) from a North American customer for the supply of point-detonating M557 filled fuzes, a critical component of 155 mm artillery ammunition. The contract will be executed over a 10-month period.
The manufacturing will be carried out in India in compliance with applicable defence export regulations and norms.
The 155 mm artillery shell is among the most widely deployed artillery munitions globally, with demand rising in recent years amid evolving geopolitical dynamics and heightened defence preparedness across multiple regions. The munitions are compatible with a broad range of artillery gun systems currently in service worldwide, a release said.
“This order reflects the growing global confidence in Indian defence manufacturing capabilities. Securing a direct export engagement of this scale highlights our evolution into a global supplier and underscores our in-house engineering, precision manufacturing, and R&D expertise,” said Sunil Kalidindi.
