Lokesh Machines Limited has achieved a significant milestone with the acquisition of a license from the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Government of India. This authorization empowers the company to manufacture Fixed/Towed Heavy Machine Guns with calibers ranging from above 12.7mm to up to 30mm.  

The acquisition of this license underscores Lokesh Machines Limited’s commitment to contributing to India’s defense capabilities and self-reliance in critical military equipment. The company’s ability to manufacture heavy machine guns domestically will not only reduce dependence on imports but also create opportunities for technology transfer, skill development, and local job creation.

Heavy machine guns play a crucial role in modern warfare, providing essential fire support and defensive capabilities. The ability to produce these weapons indigenously will enhance India’s military preparedness and ensure a steady supply of essential equipment for the armed forces.
