Kalyani Rafael Advanced Systems Private Limited (KRAS), in collaboration with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems of Israel, on Tuesday rolled out the first batch of medium range surface-to-air missile (MRSAM) kits for the Indian Army and the Air Force under the government’s Make-in-India initiative.

KRAS will deliver more than 1,000 such missile kits to India’s state-run undertaking, Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) for further integration and production of the missile, according to a statement issued here.

Stating that the venture marked a step-change in technological expertise and collective demonstration of the capability to be the global manufacturing hub for defence products, Baba Kalyani, Chairman and Managing Director of Kalyani Group, added that apart from the missile kits, the group will extend support in maintenance and repair operations for in-service air defence missile systems.
