Progresses for on-time execution of 40,000 BPJ Order for Paramilitary Forces
New Delhi, March 10, 2026. SMPP Limited, a leading Indian manufacturer of advanced ballistic protection systems for soldiers and weapon platforms across land, air, and sea, is on track for an on-time execution of the order for 40,000 Bullet Proof Jackets (BPJs) for India’s paramilitary forces, including the Border Security Force, CISF and Sashastra Seema Bal. This is in addition to the most advanced BPJs offering protection from Armor Piercing bullets being supplied by SMPP to CRPF and Indian Army.
Of the total order quantity, around 28,000 BPJs have already been successfully delivered. The balance units are scheduled for delivery in the next financial year, in line with contractual timelines.
In recognition of SMPP’s timely deliveries and consistent product quality, the paramilitary forces have placed an additional order of approximately 10,000 Bullet Proof Jackets, taking the cumulative order quantity to 50,000 units.
SMPP’s BPJs are designed and manufactured in India to meet stringent ballistic and operational requirements, ensuring enhanced survivability and operational readiness for personnel deployed in diverse and high-risk environments.
Mr. Ashish Kansal, CEO, SMPP Limited, said, “The execution of this large order reflects our manufacturing strength, robust quality systems, and our deep commitment to safeguarding the lives of those who serve the nation. At SMPP, we remain focused on delivering world-class protective solutions that support operational effectiveness while contributing meaningfully to India’s journey towards self-reliance in defence manufacturing.”
Beyond personal protection systems, SMPP is expanding its capabilities across key defence segments, including the manufacturing of ammunition for 155 mm artillery guns, as well as drones and drone ammunition—further strengthening indigenous defence manufacturing capacity. Through innovation, scale, and consistent execution, SMPP continues to play a vital role in protecting India’s security forces while advancing the vision of Atmanirbharta in defence.
