For an Indian defence startup, overseas manufacturing represents a different model from conventional defence exports. Rather than supplying completed systems only from India, the company is seeking to combine Indian-developed platforms with local production capability in an overseas market.
The TRAJAN is a French-designed artillery system developed by Nexter, now part of KNDS France, with a substantial Indian manufacturing role through Larsen & Toubro. Armenia’s induction of the system adds another modern 155 mm platform to an artillery inventory that already includes Indian-origin systems such as ATAGS and MArG 155.
NH-10 serves as one of the principal road links connecting the Siliguri region with Sikkim. Sevoke occupies a crucial position on this route, where road infrastructure must negotiate the Teesta River and difficult Himalayan foothill terrain.
The KFT Ground Control Station brings multiple drone-control functions together within one operating environment. It supports mission planning, live drone location, route tracking, flight status, telemetry and live camera feeds.
Bharat Skytech officially describes Evercell as a domestic battery and charger brand designed and manufactured in India to reduce dependence on imported drone components. The product range includes standard LiPo batteries, high-voltage battery packs, smart batteries with integrated battery-management systems and dedicated charging systems.
The company describes its approach as an in-house avionics ecosystem designed to work across different types of unmanned aircraft. This includes fixed-wing platforms, quadcopters, hexacopters, hybrid VTOL systems, tiltrotors and other UAV configurations.
The company says its ecosystem covers power distribution, satellite navigation, flight control, radio controllers and batteries, supported by its proprietary Aakash software platform. These systems are developed alongside complete UAV platforms, allowing the company to treat the drone as an integrated aircraft rather than a collection of unrelated components.
Talwar divided the business impact of artificial intelligence into three broad areas: personal productivity, small companies and creative industries, and large corporations.
The company has described the platform as capable of supporting perception, navigation, reasoning, agentic action and fleet intelligence. These capabilities form important building blocks for increasingly autonomous drone systems.
The seven companies — Munitions India Limited, Armoured Vehicles Nigam Limited, Advanced Weapons and Equipment India Limited, Troop Comforts Limited, Yantra India Limited, India Optel Limited and Gliders India Limited — were created in October 2021 to bring greater accountability, operational flexibility and commercial discipline to the former ordnance factory network.
