DEFENSE
MSA Global Technology has become the first Indian firm to produce all-metal barrels for the Grad BM-21 multiple rocket launcher system, advancing India's defense self-reliance and indigenisation efforts. The Indian Army successfully completed Phase-1 trials, validating the barrels' performance, with Phase-2 trials set to test additional barrels for a full firing configuration. This development marks a significant step towards reducing dependence on foreign imports for critical military components.
