It is notable that BAPL is a Joint Venture (JV) between India and Russia making a crucial contribution to augmenting the new generation of Surface-to-Surface Missiles (SSMs) with enhanced range and dual role capability for land as well as anti-ship attacks.
This contract is going to give a further boost to indigenous production of the critical weapon systems and ammunition with the active participation of indigenous industry.
