Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, who flagged off the first batch of BrahMos missiles manufactured at the BrahMos Integration and Testing Facility Centre in Lucknow on Saturday, said BrahMos is not just a missile but a symbol of the growing indigenous capabilities of the nation.
The Defence Minister, who jointly flagged off BrahMos missiles with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, said the BrahMos team has signed contracts worth approximately Rs 4,000 crore with two countries within just one month.
"In the coming years, we will see experts from other countries flock to Lucknow, making it a knowledge hub and a leader in defence technology... The turnover of BrahMos' Lucknow unit will be around Rs 3,000 crore from the next financial year... GST collection will be Rs 5,00 crore per
