Overview
- Sigma Advanced Systems says it has secured a $21.97 million export order to manufacture and deliver 40,000 units of 155 mm M107 artillery shell bodies to a North American customer.
- The company reported that it has obtained Export Authorisation from the Department of Defence Production and plans to complete production and deliveries within a six-month window.
- Sigma framed the win as a strategic move from making fuzes to producing complete shell components, work that requires specialized metallurgy, precision machining, process control, and strict quality checks.
- Company CEO Sunil Kalidindi said the contract reflects international confidence in India’s defence manufacturing and strengthens Sigma’s role in global artillery supply chains.
- The deal highlights rising global demand for standard 155 mm ammunition and could boost India’s integration into allied munitions supply lines while buyers monitor timely delivery and consistent quality.
