3rd Production Centre Of Brahmos In Nagpur

The DRDO is planning to setup a new production centre of the deadly Brahmos Missile in Nagpur to augment capacities for mass producing the missile in India. This is the third such facility apart from the existing two which are already manufacturing the missile in large quantities.
The DRDO is unable to cope up with the huge demand from the Indian Armed Forces which is why the DRDO is deciding to setup another manufacturing facility at Nagpur. There is a huge demand for the missile from other countries like Indonesia and Malaysia but the DRDO is not thinking of exports as of now. The DRDO wants to meet the Indian demand first.
India is already producing the Akash Missile in large numbers with adequate infrastructure in place. More than 400 industries were directly or indirectly involved in the production of the Akash Missile and never before has the country gone for such mass scale production.
Apart from manufacturing Missiles, the DRDO is producing Defence system for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear radiations (CBRN) for which over Rs 300 crores has been allocated by New Delhi.
The DRDO is also developing robotic soldiers, which would have sensors to detect mines and clear them too.
With mass production facilities spurring up in the country, India is close to self-reliance in sophisticated weapons manufacturing. India is now able to build the critical technologies on its own, without depending on other countries. No country is fully independent and they get components from other countries as it is a global village. In the missile production area, 80% comes from India, while only the remaining 20% is from others.
