Rajnath Singh, Yogi Adityanath Flag Off First BrahMos Missiles From Lucknow Facility

The unit’s first deliveries mark a self‑reliance milestone, backed by about ₹4,000 crore in recent export contracts with an annual output goal near 100 missiles.

Overview

  • BrahMos Aerospace dispatched the first batch from its new Integration and Test Facility in Sarojini Nagar, inaugurated on May 11, 2025 and now fully operational.
  • Officials said the plant will produce roughly 100 missiles per year for the Army, Navy and Air Force, with capacity planned to scale to about 150.
  • The facility spans about 200 acres, cost roughly ₹380 crore to build, and houses assembly, integration, testing and final quality‑check capabilities.
  • Defence minister Rajnath Singh warned that every inch of Pakistan is within BrahMos range and described Operation Sindoor as “just a trailer” of India’s capabilities.
  • Leaders highlighted economic gains including a projected turnover around ₹3,000 crore with about ₹500 crore in annual GST, growing jobs in the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor, and a push to indigenise critical subsystems to secure supply chains.
