Bharat Forge’s subsidiary, Agneyastra Energetics Limited, has acquired 949.65 acres in Madakasira, Andhra Pradesh, to establish a state-of-the-art Defence Energetics Manufacturing Complex. This facility will enhance India’s self-reliance in defense production by focusing on high explosives, ammunition filling, and gun propellants, addressing a critical gap in domestic capabilities historically reliant on imports. The site’s strategic location near aerospace hubs will foster collaborations with major defense entities and is expected to generate demand for skilled workers, supporting India’s broader defense export ambitions. This initiative aligns with the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, positioning Bharat Forge as a pivotal player in the domestic defense landscape.
