Rajnath, Yogi flag off first batch of Lucknow-made BrahMos missiles

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath flagged off the first batch of BrahMos missiles manufactured at the BrahMos Aerospace unit in Lucknow on Saturday. BrahMos Aerospace, the manufacturer of the BrahMos supersonic missile system, has successfully produced the first batch of the missile system from its new integration and test facility in Sarojini Nagar, Lucknow.

Speaking at the flag-off ceremony, Rajnath Singh stated that the production facility in Lucknow will manufacture 100 BrahMos missiles, which have become the backbone of the armed forces, and supply them to the Indian Army and Navy. This project also symbolises the country's growing confidence and growing strength. Lucknow is one of the six nodes of the Uttar Pradesh Defence Corridor, he said. 

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath emphasised that the flagging of the first batch of BrahMos missiles in Lucknow is a "moment of accomplishment" and a sign of India's growing "self-reliance" in the defence sector. "This is the foundation of a self-reliant India... So far, we have made available over 2,500 acres of land for this purpose in six nodes. Through this, over 15,000 youth in
the state have found employment," he said.

According to an official statement, this is not only a milestone for the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor (UPDIC) but will also provide a new energy to India's resolve to achieve self-reliance in defence manufacturing. This state-of-the-art unit, which was inaugurated on May 11, 2025, houses all modern facilities for missile integration, testing and final quality checks. After successful testing, the missiles are prepared for deployment by the Indian armed forces.
