MIDHANI, the public sector speciality materials producer for strategic sectors, has made bullet-proof vehicles for the armed forces, to be used in tough terrain.
The Hyderabad-based listed company has handed over the fist batch of 15 such vehicles to the Central Armed Police Force (CAPF).
Midhani has been providing armoured solutions for Defence applications for three decades now. For example, it has designed and developed Light Weight Personal/ Group protection BP products and armoured vehicles, such as Light Bullet Proof Vehicles (LBPVs) and Medium Bullet Proof Vehicles (MBPVs) for troop movement in counter insurgency operations.
In view of the shortage of light weight armoured material and bullet-proof steel, Midhani has developed solutions using composites and newer varieties of BP steel. Consequently, the company is able to provide a range of light-weight BP products to CAPF.
To meet the increasing demand, Midhani is setting up a new ‘Armouring Unit’ at IMT, Rohtak, with a capex of Rs 50 crore. This unit is expected to be operational by December 2019, a press release said.
J.K. Sharam, Deputy Commandant, CAPF, said the products offered by Midhani were highly efficient in the changing security environment and met the technological needs of the defence forces.
