Under the Yogi Government, Uttar Pradesh is rapidly increasing its share in the defence sector and emerging as a key centre of defence manufacturing in the country. As part of the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor, large-scale production of defence ammunition, small arms, and artillery-related systems in Kanpur is strengthening this transformation. With rising investments, advanced technology, employment generation, and expanding production capacity, Kanpur is steadily strengthening its identity as Uttar Pradesh’s defence manufacturing hub. During the visit, the company’s CEO, Ashish Rajvanshi, shared details about expansion plans and the growing scope of defence manufacturing capabilities. The defence ammunition manufacturing facility in Kanpur currently produces around 15 crore rounds of ammunition of various categories every year.
