In a significant milestone for India’s defence manufacturing sector, the Ordnance Equipment Factory Hazratpur (OEFH) in Uttar Pradesh has successfully dispatched its first consignment of brake parachutes for Sukhoi-30 fighter jets to Malaysia. The event, marked by a simple yet proud ceremony on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, saw OEFH General Manager Amit Singh flag off a truck carrying the critical parachute brake systems. The ceremony was attended by Deputy General Manager H.L. Kumawat, Joint General Manager S.K. Meena, and other senior officers, highlighting the importance of this achievement.

The consignment comprises 10 pairs of brake parachutes, meticulously designed and manufactured for the Sukhoi-30, a versatile multirole fighter jet used by the Malaysian Air Force and several other nations, including India. These parachutes are essential for safely decelerating the high-speed aircraft during landing, ensuring operational safety and efficiency.

Amit Singh, addressing the occasion, emphasized that this dispatch is more than a commercial transaction. “This achievement is not just a business deal, but a proof of India’s technical proficiency and self-reliance,” he stated. The successful production and export of such specialized equipment underscore India’s growing capabilities in indigenous defence manufacturing and its ability to meet international standards.

The Sukhoi-30 brake parachutes are a testament to the technical expertise at OEFH, a key facility under India’s Ordnance Factories Board, which has been pivotal in supporting the country’s defence needs. This export to Malaysia also strengthens India’s position in the global defence market, showcasing its ability to deliver high-quality, mission-critical components to international partners.

The dispatch to Malaysia marks a step forward in India’s defence export ambitions, aligning with the government’s “Make in India” and “Atmanirbhar Bharat” (self-reliant India) initiatives. By supplying advanced equipment like the Sukhoi-30 brake parachutes, OEFH is contributing to India’s reputation as a reliable partner in defence manufacturing and technology.

This achievement is expected to pave the way for further collaborations with Malaysia and other nations operating the Sukhoi-30 platform. It also highlights the potential for India’s defence public sector undertakings to expand their footprint in the global aerospace industry. As OEFH continues to innovate and deliver, this milestone serves as a proud moment for India’s defence ecosystem, reinforcing its commitment to quality, reliability, and self-reliance.
