We are expecting the product evaluations of Pinaka Rockets to be completed in 3 months and the orders from Pinaka rockets will substantially push the revenue from defence in the coming years. On this backdrop, we are expecting the defence revenue to double in the current financial year. Our corporate objectives & business goals are aligned with country's ambition to make India Atamnirbhar in the field of ammunition and emerge as a major export hub in coming years."
