Advanced Weapons and Equipment India Limited (AWEIL), a state-owned company situated in Kanpur’s Armapur, has secured an order of monumental significance. Valued at a staggering Rs 6000 crore, this order encompasses a wide array of cutting-edge defence products that are set to redefine India’s military capabilities on a global scale.
AWEIL’s latest feat includes a substantial order for 300 ‘Sarang’ cannons from the esteemed Indian Army. These sophisticated cannons are poised to enhance the firepower of the armed forces and contribute to bolstering national security. Additionally, AWEIL has triumphantly clinched orders worth Rs 450 crore from various European countries, further solidifying its reputation as a frontrunner in defence manufacturing.
Sharang is the 130mm artillery gun ‘up-gunned’ to 155mm, 45 calibre up-gunning based on the Army’s tender. The Army had issued the Request For Proposal (RFP) in 2013 for both OFB and private industry. The gun’s range has now gone from 27km to over 36km with the upgrade. It also has more explosive capability and hence and more damage potential.
