Sunita Tools Ltd has entered into an Interim Sales Agreement to supply 2,40,000 (240,000) empty NATO-spec 155mm M107 artillery shells over a 24-month period, at a rate of 10,000 shells per month. Approximate monthly billing is expected to be around INR 24 crore, taking the total contract value to roughly INR 576 crore over two years. The buyer is a DPIIT-registered entity, and payment terms include a rolling 50% advance covering three months of supply. The agreement is non-exclusive, allowing the company to also supply other customers. Management has called this the largest order in the company's history and a strategic inflection point for its international defence and aerospace ambitions. Supplies are set to begin shortly after necessary formalities and advances are completed.
This is a sizeable, multi-year defence export order that could meaningfully boost Sunita Tools' revenue and shift its business mix toward higher-margin defence/aerospace products. The non-exclusive nature and NATO-spec compliance position the company to potentially win similar follow-on orders, though execution risk and the 'Interim' status pending prototype clearance remain key watchpoints for shareholders.
