Advanced Weapon Equipment India Limited (AWEIL) is set to significantly ramp up production and delivery of the indigenously developed Dhanush 155mm/45 caliber howitzer to the Indian Army. As part of a larger 114-gun order, the company is committed to handing over an additional 48 Dhanush guns by the end of March 2025.
This development marks a crucial milestone in the Indian Army’s modernization efforts. The Dhanush, an upgraded version of the renowned Bofors howitzer, has undergone rigorous testing and refinement to address initial quality concerns. AWEIL has already delivered 32 Dhanush guns to the Army, with the first batch of six guns inducted in 2019.
The Dhanush howitzer is a cornerstone of India’s artillery modernization. Its advanced capabilities, including increased range and accuracy, provide a substantial boost to the Army’s firepower. As the production and delivery of these indigenously developed guns gather pace, the Indian Army’s artillery regiments will be equipped with a formidable weapon system, enhancing its combat readiness.
AWEIL’s commitment to meeting the Indian Army’s requirements underscores the company’s role in strengthening the nation’s defense capabilities. With the successful resolution of earlier quality issues, the Dhanush howitzer is poised to become a mainstay of the Indian artillery for years to come.
