Godrej Aerospace has completed the delivery of its 200th BrahMos airframe assembly to BrahMos Aerospace, marking a major milestone in the programme. The company has delivered 100 missile airframe assemblies for the BrahMos supersonic cruise in less than four years.
Anil Verma, Executive Director & President, Godrej & Boyce, said that he looked forward to upscale the production to reach bigger milestones in the coming future for the important national missile programme.
Dr Sudhir Mishra, Distinguished Scientist & Director General (BrahMos), CEO & MD BrahMos Aerospace, said, 'This project is not merely an achievement in the production and development of the most advanced missiles, but also is a prominent assertion of the Make-in-India narrative.'
Godrej Aerospace is a part of Godrej & Boyce, a Godrej Group company and is a major supplier to BrahMos Aerospace and has been associated with the programme since its inception in 2001.
