BrahMos Missiles
The new integration and test facility, inaugurated in May 2025, is equipped with advanced infrastructure for missile assembly, testing, and final quality checks. These missiles, ready for deployment, symbolize India’s push toward self-reliance in defence manufacturing under the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor (UPDIC).
Present at the launch were Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, Minister Nand Gopal Gupta Nandi, and other senior officials, witnessing the state step confidently into the future of indigenous missile technology.
