CORPORATE ANNOUNCEMENT / PRESS RELEASE
Tirupati Forge Limited Secures Strategic Industrial License under Indian Arms Act,
1959 for Artillery Shell Manufacturing
September 19, 2026
Tirupati Forge Limited has announced that the company has received a strategic industrial
license under the Indian Arms Act, 1959, for the manufacturing of all major sizes of empty
artillery shells, including 105mm, 120mm, 122mm, 125mm, 130mm, 152mm, and 155mm.
Under the 155mm category, the license comprehensively covers HE M107, HE L15A1,
Extended Range Full Bore (ERFB), ERFB Base Bleed (BB), and ERFB Boat Tail (BT) artillery
ammunition variants. This milestone positions Tirupati Forge at the forefront of India's
burgeoning defence manufacturing ecosystem, establishing the company within a select
league of distinguished suppliers.
Backed by a robust initial production capability of 150,000 units annually—with deliberate
plans already underway to scale up output at our advanced production center—Tirupati
Forge is on track to kick start pilot manufacturing runs this December 2026. The company
intends to rapidly transition from this phase into full-scale industrial commercialization.
This strategic move underscores Tirupati Forge's unwavering commitment to indigenization
and technological excellence in the defence sector, aligning seamlessly with the national
'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiative.
In expectation of heavy market traction and a strong influx of commercial interest from both
Indian and global partners, Tirupati Forge has formulated a dynamic scaling blueprint. This
proactive roadmap is designed to meet mounting international demand while establishing
the company as a key, dependable component of India's sovereign ammunition supply
network.
This breakthrough marks a major financial catalyst, projected to open lucrative and
sustainable revenue channels by capitalizing on our established track record in high-
precision engineering. Operating within this critical segment, Tirupati Forge Limited
maintains an absolute commitment to rigorous quality control protocols and operational
safety standards. Our manufacturing processes will be strictly aligned with the exacting
benchmarks of the defense sector, guaranteeing that our production output flawlessly
matches the specialized operational mandates of the Indian Armed Forces as well as
international defense partners.
