Balu Forge Signs 5-Year MOU for Large Caliber Ammunition Supply
Balu Forge inks a 5-year MOU to supply 155 mm M107 and 152 mm ammunition shells. The agreement, starting Feb 25, 2026, involves monthly supplies of 30,000 and 10,000 units respectively. Pricing is USD 315 per unit, indexed to LME. Supplies commence April 2026.
The agreement is for a significant duration (5 years) and involves substantial volumes of ammunition shells, directly contributing to the company's defense sector strategy and revenue.
The announcement details a new, long-term supply agreement for defense products, indicating business expansion and revenue growth potential.
Balu Forge Industries Ltd. has entered into a significant Memorandum of Understanding (M.O.U.) for a period of 5 years to supply empty shells for large caliber ammunition. This agreement, effective from February 25th, 2026, marks a crucial step in the company's strategy to strengthen its presence in the defense consumable sector, building upon its recent integration into the NATO supply chain and the commercialization of its empty shell line.
The M.O.U. specifically covers the supply of 155 mm M107 (30,000 units/month) and 152 mm (10,000 units/month) ammunition in a 'Ready to Fill' condition. The pricing for these units is set at USD 315 per unit, indexed to the London Metal Exchange to manage fluctuations, and terms are FOB Nhava Sheva. The company plans to increase its production capacity beyond the current 360,000 units per annum using internal accruals to meet the demand outlined in the agreement.
Payment terms include a 20% advance with the balance payable via an irrevocable Letter of Credit within 30 days of the invoice. Supplies are scheduled to commence in April 2026, beginning with the 155 mm M107 and 152 mm variants, with potential future expansion to include 105 mm, 120 mm, and 81 mm calibers, as well as extended range variants, through addendums to the M.O.U. The agreement has been signed with a NATO-affiliated entity, and due to the sensitive nature of the supplies, the end-user's name has not been disclosed.
