Apollo Micro Systems Expands Defence Manufacturing Campus in Hyderabad

Apollo Micro Systems Limited is expanding weapon integration facilities in Hyderabad through a new defence manufacturing campus. The project involves fresh capital expenditure, an enlarged land parcel and higher capacity for weapon systems. The move supports domestic production needs in artillery and related platforms as defence spending in India increases.

The company estimates investment at about Rs 30,000 lakhs for developing the new integrated site. The facility is planned for manufacturing, assembly, integration and testing of Weapon System Platforms. These include Grad Rockets, Anti-Submarine Warfare Rockets, Anti-Tank Mines, Artillery Munitions and other related defence products.

Apollo Micro Systems Limited is a 41-year-old defence technology company with experience across several engineering domains. The business focuses on designing, developing and producing advanced engineering, electromechanical and electronic systems for strategic customers. Multi-domain skills and established infrastructure enable development of defence technologies and their production at scale for national requirements.

As a group, AMS operates as a Tier-I Original Equipment Design Cum manufacturer with explosive capabilities. These capabilities draw on the strengths of subsidiary companies that work with explosives related systems. The organisation positions itself to supply complete solutions rather than only components, while serving long-term defence programmes in India.

For this expansion, Plot Nos. 4 and 5 at TSIIC, Hardware Park Phase II, Hyderabad, have been allotted. The plots cover 22,988 square metres and were granted to Apollo Micro Systems Ltd. at Rs 12,000 per square metre. The total land cost stands at Rs 27,58,56,000, as disclosed by the company.

With enlarged capacity, the company aims to address rising defence demand while aligning operations with Atmanirbhar Bharat goals. The investment also deepens AMS’s role in indigenous defence production supported by the Government of Telangana.
