Sigma Advanced Systems partners with Munitions India to produce indigenous 155mm artillery guidance fuzes

Sigma Advanced Systems Limited announced an exclusive memorandum of understanding with Munitions India Limited to integrate, manufacture and supply 155 mm artillery course-correction fuzes and associated subsystems. The partnership is designed to create indigenous precision-guided artillery ammunition, strengthening India's defence technology ecosystem and cutting dependence on foreign solutions. Sigma will supply its mature Course Correction Guidance Kit, while MIL will leverage its ammunition production capabilities.

The deal includes technology transfer, qualification, local production and integration of advanced guidance solutions. CEO Sunil Kalidindi said the collaboration combines Sigma's engineering strengths with MIL's manufacturing capacity to advance domestic capabilities. The initiative also supports ongoing critical programmes of the Indian armed forces and moves Sigma further up the defence value chain.
