Telangana CM assures support to BrahMos Aerospace for its expansion

Telangana CM assures full govt support to BrahMos Aerospace for Hyderabad expansion, highlights defence corridor prospects with Bengaluru

"Telangana is the best destination for investments in the country - CM Revanth Reddy"

Hyderabad, June 18

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has requested BrahMos Aerospace to expand its presence in Hyderabad and assured all support from the government.

A delegation of BrahMos Aerospace paid a courtesy call on the Chief Minister at his Jubilee Hills residence on Wednesday.

CM Revanth Reddy assured the BrahMos Aerospace company of all kinds of support from the state government for its expansion plans in Hyderabad and Telangana state. The delegation responded positively to the Chief Minister’s request.

BrahMos Aerospace MD and CEO Dr Jaiteerth R. Joshi, BrahMos Hyderabad Executive Director Surampudi Sambasiva Prasad, DRDL Director G.A. Srinivasa Murthy, and others met the Chief Minister.

The Chief Minister explained to the delegation the prospects of the establishment of a Defence Corridor between Hyderabad and Bengaluru.

According to the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO), he also briefed the BrahMos Aerospace officials on various Defence organisations established the units in Hyderabad. He told the delegation that Telangana is the best destination for investments in the country.

State IT and Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu was also present.

BrahMos, the supersonic cruise missile, proved a big success in India’s recent Operation Sindoor against Pakistan.

The missile cannot be intercepted by the existing air defence mechanisms of all countries, including China and Pakistan. It can cover a distance of 300 km in minutes and has the capability to damage runways.

India has developed multiple variants of BrahMos, including land-to-land, land-to-ship and ship-to-land configurations.

India and Russia are reported to be in discussion to manufacture an advanced version of BrahMos.

BrahMos Aerospace is a joint venture between the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Joint Stock Company Military Industrial Consortium NPO Mashinostroyeniya (earlier known as Federal State Unitary Enterprise NPOM of Russia).

The company was established through an agreement signed on February 12, 1998, between India and Russia.

This is excellent news for Hyderabad's defense ecosystem! BrahMos is our pride and expanding its presence in Telangana will create jobs and boost local industries. Hope the government keeps its promises regarding infrastructure support. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

While I support defense manufacturing, I hope the government ensures environmental safeguards. Hyderabad already has pollution issues - new industries must follow strict green norms. Development shouldn't come at nature's cost.

BrahMos is our strategic deterrent against both China and Pakistan. The more we manufacture, the better! But we must ensure technology transfer from Russia is complete - can't depend on foreign partners forever. Atmanirbhar Bharat zindabad!

Good move CM Revanth Reddy! But please also focus on skill development programs for local youth to get jobs in these high-tech defense companies. What's the point of industries coming if our children can't work there?

The Hyderabad-Bengaluru defense corridor sounds promising! This could make South India the defense manufacturing hub of Asia. But hope the land acquisition process is fair to farmers - we've seen controversies in other states.

BrahMos success in Operation Sindoor shows why we need more indigenous weapons. But we must also invest equally in cybersecurity - modern wars will be fought online too. Hope the government has a balanced approach.
