Tata Advanced Systems awarded Supply Order for overhaul cum upgradation of Pinaka Weapon System from the Indian Army

Bengaluru, January 6, 2026. Tata Advanced Systems has been awarded a supply order to support the Indian Army’s 510 Advance Base Workshop (ABW) in the overhaul cum upgradation of in-service first-generation Pinaka Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS) and Battery Command Posts (BCPs).

This landmark public–private partnership was formalised today with the handing over of Supply Order by the Indian Army to Tata Advanced Systems in a formal ceremony at New Delhi.  The programme will leverage Tata Advanced Systems’ technical expertise, certified spares, and close coordination with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to ensure sustained availability and peak performance of one of the Indian Army’s frontline artillery systems.

Under the collaboration, in the initial phase, Tata Advanced Systems and 510 ABW will jointly undertake a pilot overhaul of select Pinaka MLRS and BCPs. Following the completion of this phase, the remaining Pinaka MLRS and BCPs will be overhauled by 510 ABW of the Corps of EME with Tata Advanced Systems providing critical spares, quality assurance and technical support.

Tata Advanced Systems partnered with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to design and develop Pinaka MLRS, an all-weather, indirect fire artillery weapon capable of delivering high-volume firepower against critical targets. Tata Advanced Systems has achieved nearly 80% indigenous content, reflecting a high degree of operational and strategic autonomy and self-reliance in defence manufacturing.

Tata Advanced Systems has delivered a significant number of Pinaka MLRS which are currently operationally deployed by the Indian Army, further strengthening the company’s land combat systems portfolio.
