Hyderabad: In a major leg-up for aerospace and defence manufacturing in India and Telangana, Hyderabad-based Premier Explosives Ltd, which is listed on BSE & NSE, on Friday said it has emerged as the first private player in India to export rocket motors with the first consignment being dispatched to Israel as part of a larger arrangement between Indian and Israeli companies.

The company said these rocket motors were completely designed and developed through in-house R&D and successfully tested to meet all customer requirements and specifications as well as qualifying international export standards.

The company said it expects the move to put it on the radar of international defence manufacturers and OEMs as a go-to destination for rocket motors, warheads and other munitions, it said.

The company said it has also been identified by ISRO as a source for processing and casting strap-on motors for Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and that the propellant casting of these motors is being done at their new facility at Katepally near Hyderabad.

It has also designed and developed in-house air target imitators and successfully qualified for supplying them to the Indian Army, even as it has supplied rocket motor thermal insulation material to the country’s prestigious missile programmes, the company said.

Premier has also been supplying counter-measures such as chaffs and flares to the Indian Air Force and has emerged as the only qualified supplier of solid propellants to Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) for Astra, LRSAM, MRSAM, and QRSAM missile systems.
