Balu Forge Secures Artillery Shell Order

Balu Forge Industries has secured an initial contract to supply 30,000 units of 152 mm artillery shells to a major Indian energetics player. Supplies under the order are scheduled to commence in June 2026, marking a key step in the company’s expansion into the domestic defence sector.

The order is expected to scale up to more than 100,000 shells with additional variants. The agreement also provides for the inclusion of further ammunition variants in the production pipeline, enabling the company to address evolving artillery requirements.

The order will be executed through BFIL’s fully automated empty shell production line at its greenfield facility in Belgaum, Karnataka. The 100 per cent indigenously built line uses advanced robotics and unmanned forging systems to improve precision, speed and efficiency.

BFIL is also expanding capacity for large-calibre ammunition to meet domestic and international demand. Through its subsidiary Quantum Energetics, the company plans to move further up the defence value chain by entering advanced energetics and defence materials.

The company said its NATO certification and long-term MoU strengthen its position as a supplier of high-precision defence components for global markets, while supporting India’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat defence manufacturing goals.
