AI summary

It authorises manufacture of missiles, ATGMs, torpedoes, aerial bombs, rockets and loitering munitions at two Hyderabad facilities, with annual capacity of 1,000 units per category. The license shifts AMS from a subsystems provider to an end-to-end platform manufacturer. Step-down subsidiary IDL Explosives adds propellant and warhead capabilities.
