L&T secures Army order for overhaul,  upgrade of Pinaka launcher systems

Key Highlights

• Under the initiative, 510 Army Base Workshop (ABW) EME will undertake the overhaul and upgrade of critical electronics and systems, utilising domain knowledge inherent in the Army Base Workshop.
• L&T, as the original equipment manufacturer, will supply critical spares and support the modernisation of sub-systems, enabling a shift from conventional maintenance practices to a structured, lifecycle-based sustenance and upgrade framework.
• In the initial phase, L&T will jointly undertake a pilot overhaul of the Pinaka launcher and battery command post in collaboration with 510 ABW.
• Upon completion of the pilot phase, the remaining systems will be overhauled by 510 ABW of the Corps of EME, with L&T continuing to provide critical spares, technical support and quality oversight.
• The model is expected to serve as a blueprint for similar lifecycle management and upgrade programmes across other defence platforms, strengthening India’s self-reliant and future-ready defence ecosystem.
