Sunita Tools Limited Announces Expansion of Production Capacity for Empty Artillery Shells.

Sunita Tools Limited has announced a major capacity expansion for its empty artillery shells business. The company will scale up production from 1,10,000 shells to 3,60,000 shells per annum, more than tripling its current capacity, by adding two new production lines (Line 2 and Line 3). Total investment is approximately Rs. 126 Crore, to be funded through a mix of debt, promoter infusion, and equity. Line 2 is targeted to be operational within one year, while Line 3 within two years. The company has secured a technology transfer partnership with a UK-based firm for presses and die design, with 99% of equipment sourced locally under the Make in India initiative. The expansion is backed by existing Letters of Intent (LOIs) and growing domestic and global demand for artillery shells.
