Bharat Forge, in collaboration with VRDE (DRDO) and Tata Advanced Systems (TASL), has flagged off ‘Vikram VT 21’. The Vikram VT 21 project constitutes development of two platforms; Advanced Armoured Platform-Wheeled (AAP-Wh) and Advanced Armoured Platform-Tracked (AAP-Tr), co-created by the company, VRDE (DRDO), Tata Advanced TASL, and supported by several MSMEs.
The project is testament to the effectiveness of the Development Cum Production Partner (DCPP) model, in bringing together DRDO’s expertise and industry partners’ scale, to leapfrog platform design and development. This AAP-Wh went from concept to combat-ready in under three years as a result of continuous engagement and joint problem-solving. Moreover, having cleared the Technical Evaluation Committee (TEC) for WH-AFV and FICV of the Ministry of Defence, the Vikram VT 21 is ready to adapt to the evolving needs of the Indian Armed Forces and the global export market.
The company and its wholly owned defence subsidiary -- Kalyani Strategic Systems (KSSL), remain committed to their continued partnership with DRDO, driven by the purpose of creating new strategic capabilities for India.
Bharat Forge is engaged in manufacturing of close die and open die forging, crankshafts, front axle beams, steering knuckle, connecting rods, rocker arm and many more components.
