Apollo Micro Systems defence licence and weapon systems orders

In April, Apollo Micro Systems obtained a government licence that permits manufacturing and proof-testing of defence weapon systems. The approval allows production across two categories of arms with calibre above 12.7 mm. These activities are authorised at the company's existing facilities in Hyderabad.

The new licence aligns with the latest orders from defence and private customers, strengthening Apollo Micro Systems' role in supplying weapon systems and related equipment. The combination of regulatory approval and recent contracts indicates continued business visibility from both Ministry of Defence projects and collaborations with public sector and private enterprises.
