Tata to overhaul Army’s Pinaka rocket systems

Tata Advanced Systems has been awarded a contract to overhaul and upgrade the Army’s Pinaka multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS).

The public–private partnership was formalised on Tuesday at a ceremony in New Delhi. Tata Advanced Systems will provide technical expertise, certified spares and close coordination with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to ensure sustained availability and peak performance of one of the Army’s frontline artillery systems.

Under the collaboration, Tata Advanced Systems and the Army’s Base Workshop will jointly undertake a pilot overhaul of a limited number of Pinaka systems in the initial phase. Following the completion of this phase, the remaining systems will be overhauled by the Base Workshops and the Corps of EME, with Tata Advanced Systems providing critical spares, quality assurance and technical support.
