Hyderabad: Apollo Micro Systems Limited (AMS) has announced a major greenfield expansion with a ₹1,500 advanced manufacturing facility in Telangana. The announcement, made at the Rising Telangana Summit 2025, comes a week after the company won a licence to manufacture industrial explosives, allowing it to manufacture several advanced equipment for radar systems, navigation systems and more.
The company aims to set up this new greenfield facility to manufacture warheads for missiles, rocket motors and a full range of small, medium and large calibre artillery systems and ammunition. This advanced production footprint will allow it to meet the government’s preferences for rising indigenisation of defence equipment under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative.
“Our greenfield defence manufacturing project represents a powerful and transformational step forward significantly elevating our scale, technological capability, and strategic relevance to the nation. This expansion positions Apollo Micro Systems (AMS) to fully capitalize on the surging demand within India’s defence sector, accelerate our growth trajectory, and further solidify our leadership in the indigenous defence ecosystem”.
This initiative is highly complementary to the AMS long-term strategic vision, creating a deeply integrated and future-ready manufacturing backbone. The new facility will unlock strong synergies with IDL Explosives Ltd. Moreover, enabling us to seamlessly fulfil captive requirements of explosives for Artillery Shells, Moored Mines, MIGM, and Grad Rockets to name few. This unified capability positions the Group as a formidable force in delivering mission-critical defence solutions at scale at one roof.
With this project, AMS is not merely expanding capacity we are strengthening our role as a national asset, enhancing self-reliance, and laying the foundation for sustained, high-quality growth in the years ahead.”
Mr. Karunakar Reddy, Managing Director at Apollo Micro Systems Limited, said in a press release to the NSE.
