This order is another sign that Avantel is getting more involved in helping India become self-reliant in making its own defence products. Avantel has been working hard to support programs like Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat, which aim to build more things inside the country and rely less on buying products from outside. By getting this new project, Avantel is playing a part in making India stronger in the aerospace and defence field.
Siddhartha Abburi, who is the Director of Avantel Limited, shared his thoughts about this project. He said, “We are privileged to collaborate with Bharat Electronics Limited on this significant order, which reinforces our shared vision of strengthening India’s indigenous defence capabilities.”
He also added, “This partnership highlights Avantel’s ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence in delivering advanced technological solutions that address the evolving needs of the nation’s aerospace and defence sectors. We remain dedicated to contributing meaningfully to the Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives.”
