Hyderabad facility to provide MRO service for the armed forces
Kalyani Rafael Advanced Systems (KRAS) has rolled out its first batch of Medium Range Surface to Air Missile (MRSAM) for the Indian Army and the Air Force from its facility located near the Hyderabad international airport.
KRAS is a joint venture between the Kalyani Group and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems of Israel engaged in the defence sector manufacturing. If the demand goes up, the venture may consider stepping up manufacturing and setting up another facility.
The roll-out event marked KRAS' commitment to deliver more than 1,000 MRSAM ‘missile kits’ to the Indian Army and Air Force over the coming years. The missile sections will then be forwarded to Bharat Dynamics Limited for integration.
