The system is designed to integrate multiple rocket types, including long-range variants with strike capabilities of 150 km and 300 km.

Under the agreement, NIBE is required to submit a performance-cum-warranty bank guarantee equivalent to 10 per cent of the total contract value within 30 days of signing.

NIBE operates across defence manufacturing, electric vehicle systems and software development, with capabilities spanning fabrication, machining and assembly of critical components. Despite the order win, the company reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 84.4 million in Q2FY26, compared with a net profit of Rs 91.2 million in Q2FY25.
