Sigma Advanced Systems Secures $104.9 Million Export Order for Artillery Shells
Sigma Advanced Systems Ltd secured a $104.9 million (around Rs 1,013 crore) export order from a North American customer to supply 147,000 units of 155mm base bleed artillery shell bodies. The contract will be executed over six to 12 months and marks the company's move into more advanced artillery ammunition. Base bleed technology reduces aerodynamic drag to extend artillery range by 15-30%, compatible with existing 155mm howitzers. The order is expected to enhance Sigma's revenue, profitability, and global defence supply credentials amid rising demand for extended-range ammunition.
