KOLAR GOLD FIELDS, 3 JULY

As part of its efforts to strengthen India’s indigenous defence manufacturing ecosystem, BEML Limited, a Public Sector Enterprise under the Ministry of Defence, has unveiled a major infrastructure expansion at its KGF complex.

The commissioning of three next-generation units dedicated to defence production signals the BEML’s strategic intent to scale up indigenous capabilities and accelerate the delivery of mission-critical military platforms. 

Built to support the servicing of Armoured Recovery Vehicles (ARVs) and for manufacturing their advanced variants, the three new facilities mark a new chapter in the production capabilities of the BEML.  They are equipped with integrated stores and logistics sections to streamline component flow and reduce turnaround times.

Designed for smart manufacturing, these facilities will enable high output in production, rapid integration and quality-controlled assembly – empowering the BEML to meet defence needs of the country.

BEML CMD Shantanu Roy, while inaugurating a 24x7 Occupational Health Centre at the KGF complex, said this expansion comes when the Aatmanirbhar Bharat mission is reshaping India’s defence sector.

Roy said, “It is more than just an expansion – it is a strategic leap forward. These units enhance our capability to deliver high-performance defence solutions at scale and reaffirm our commitment to being a trusted partner to India’s armed forces. We are not just making in India – we are engineering, innovating and leading from India.
