Nibe Limited Secures $17.52M Israeli Defence Contract
In a landmark moment for India’s defence exports, Nibe Limited has won a $17.52 million export order from an Israeli defence technology company for the supply of advanced Universal Rocket Launchers. This contract marks one of the most significant international deals secured by the Indian defence manufacturer, boosting its global footprint in the high-tech military hardware segment.
Nibe Limited Expands Global Defence Footprint
The deal involves the manufacturing and export of Universal Rocket Launchers capable of delivering precise strikes at ranges of up to 300 kilometers. These systems are engineered to integrate seamlessly with a variety of platforms, making them adaptable for modern battlefield scenarios. The Israeli client’s decision to source these advanced systems from India is being seen as a major endorsement of Indian manufacturing and engineering capability in the strategic defence sector.
Defence Export Boost Under ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’
This export contract is a milestone under the Indian Government’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative, which aims to promote indigenous defence production and reduce dependence on imports. The order also reinforces India’s credentials as a credible supplier of advanced defence systems. Nibe Limited’s achievement is being viewed as an example of how Indian firms are stepping up to the challenge of becoming global suppliers in a traditionally import-dominated ecosystem.
The Universal Rocket Launchers being supplied are said to surpass several existing technologies in operational flexibility, range, and payload integration, demonstrating India’s rise in complex weapons systems production.
Strategic Collaboration with Israel
The collaboration with Israel not only adds to Nibe Limited’s credibility but also strengthens strategic defence ties between the two nations. Israel is one of India’s most significant defence partners, and this deal signals deeper technological cooperation and trust. As the geopolitical landscape evolves, India’s role as an exporter of critical defence equipment is gaining greater strategic importance.
