The company has secured a new, significant contract in the defence sector, indicating business growth and successful product commercialisation.
Balu Forge Industries Ltd (BFIL) has announced the successful commercialisation and receipt of its first purchase order for 155 mm Extended Range Full Bore – Base Bleed (ERFB BB) & Extended Range Full Bore - Boat Tail (ERFB BT) shells from an Indian ammunition player.

These shells are crucial for modern warfare, enabling extended standoff capabilities. The Indian armed forces utilize these variants with systems like the Dhanush and ATAGS, achieving ranges of up to 38 kilometres and 48 kilometres respectively. The projectiles also meet standard NATO specifications, ensuring compatibility with platforms such as the K9 Vajra-T and M777 howitzers.
BFIL has also secured NATO certification and is undertaking mass production of standard 152 mm and 155 mm M107 projectiles at its new automated facility in Belgaum. The company's long-term strategy includes expanding into multi-alloy forgings and its energetics division to deliver integrated tactical solutions globally.
