What is the story about?
Hyderabad-based Sigma Advanced Systems Ltd. will have its shares in the spotlight on Monday, June 8, after the company announced that it has bagged a major export order.
According to its exchange filing, Sigma Advanced Systems has won an order worth ₹208 crore ($21.97 million) for the manufacture and supply of 40,000 units of 155 mm M107 artillery shell bodies.
The order is for a North American customer, whose name the company not disclosed, and will be executed over the next six months.
Earlier recognized primarily as a fuze manufacturer, Sigma is now positioning itself as a comprehensive global munitions partner.
The production of 155 mm artillery shell bodies—the primary structural component of artillery ammunition—requires advanced expertise in materials engineering, forging, machining, and rigorous quality control. The company has already secured the necessary export authorization from India's Department of Defence Production.
The shell body forms the primary structural element of a 155 mm artillery projectile and is among the most critical components in artillery ammunition manufacturing. The 155 mm calibre remains the global standard for modern artillery systems and is widely deployed across NATO and
allied platforms, Sigma said in its exchange filing.
Sunil Kalidindi, CEO & Executive Director of the company, noted that the contract reflects growing global confidence in India's defence manufacturing ecosystem and Sigma’s precision engineering scale. This engagement is expected to serve as a foundation for further international ammunition manufacturing opportunities.
Sigma Advanced Systems remains focused on expanding its global footprint, according to the company statement by continuing to invest in advanced manufacturing technologies, engineering capabilities, and quality systems to address the evolving requirements of global defence and aerospace customers.
Shares of Sigma Advanced Systems had ended locked in a 5% lower circuit last Friday at ₹435.8. The stock is still up 35% over the last one month, taking its year-to-date advance so far to 132%.
