Advanced Weapon Equipment India Limited (AWEIL) is set to significantly bolster the Indian Army’s artillery capabilities with the delivery of 200 upgraded Sharang cannons within the next two years. This substantial order, valued at Rs 6000 crore, underscores AWEIL’s growing stature as a key player in India’s defense manufacturing landscape.
The Sharang, an indigenous upgrade of the 130mm M-46 artillery gun to a 155mm/45 caliber platform, represents a significant leap forward in artillery technology. The enhanced range of over 36 kilometers, compared to the original 27 kilometers, coupled with increased explosive capability, provides the Indian Army with a potent weapon system capable of neutralizing a wider array of targets.
AWEIL’s ability to successfully undertake this complex upgrade project highlights the company’s technical expertise and manufacturing prowess. The delivery of 200 Sharang cannons will significantly augment the Indian Army’s artillery firepower, enhancing its overall combat readiness.
This order is part of a larger defense procurement initiative aimed at modernizing the Indian armed forces. AWEIL’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge defense products aligns with the government’s vision of self-reliance in the defense sector.
