Hughes Precision Raises ₹250 Crore to Expand Ammunition Manufacturing Capacity
Hughes Precision Manufacturing Pvt. Ltd., a Goa-based private-sector ammunition maker, has raised ₹250 crore from ultra-high-net-worth investors to expand its production. The funds will increase small-caliber ammunition capacity from 80 million to 220 million rounds and establish a new medium-caliber ammunition facility. This expansion aligns with India's focus on indigenous defence manufacturing and export growth, aiming to meet domestic military needs and international demand with a broader product range.
