NIBE Announces Successful Test Firing Of SURYASTRA Launcher

NIBE Limited (NIBE) has announced the successful test firing of its SURYASTRA Universal Rocket Launcher system following trials at ITR, Chandipur, Odisha on 18 and 19 May 2026. The company noted that it had received a purchase order in January 2026 under the Emergency Procurement of the Indian Army for the supply of the launcher and rockets with 150 km and 300 km ranges. The company stated the tests formed part of the contracted delivery schedule.

The rockets achieved exceptional precision across all ranges, with a circular error probable of one point five metres at the 150 km range and two metres at the 300 km range. These trial results validated SURYASTRA's long range precision strike capability and demonstrated consistency in guidance and control performance across extended flight envelopes. The outcomes mark a significant milestone in indigenous rocket artillery development by NIBE.

The company emphasised its focus on innovation, self reliance and make in India principles in advancing defence technology. The announcement highlighted the operational relevance of the system for the Indian Army.

The filing on 19 May 2026 to the stock exchanges conveyed the test results and purchase order information in compliance with listing obligations. NIBE is a leading Indian defence technology company engaged in the development, manufacturing and integration of sophisticated defence systems and plays a vital role in enhancing India's defence readiness and export capabilities. The company provided corporate compliance contact details in the regulatory filing. The company reaffirmed its commitment to meeting contractual timelines.
