Larsen & Toubro Ltd (L&T) has announced a partnership with the Indian Army, specifically with the Corps of Electronics and Mechanical Engineers (EME), for the overhaul and upgrade of the Pinaka Multi-Rocket Launcher Systems. The agreement was disclosed on January 8, 2026, and involves the management of outdated components and the upgrade of critical sub-systems.
The partnership aims to enhance the operational availability and modernization of the Pinaka regiments currently in service. L&T, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), will supply critical spares and provide sustained technical support to the Army Base Workshops. The initiative will be executed in collaboration with the 510 Army Base Workshop (ABW) EME, which will undertake the overhaul and upgrade of critical electronics and systems.
In the initial phase, L&T and 510 ABW will jointly conduct a pilot overhaul of the Pinaka Launcher and Battery Command Post. Upon successful completion of this pilot phase, the remaining systems will be overhauled by 510 ABW, with L&T continuing to provide critical spares, technical support, and quality oversight. This model is intended to serve as a framework for similar lifecycle management and upgrade programs across other defense platforms.
The collaboration between L&T and the Indian Army is part of a broader effort to reinforce the Public Private Partnership model in defense sustenance and lifecycle support for frontline artillery systems. This approach aligns with the Aatmanirbhar Bharat vision by leveraging indigenous design, manufacturing, and systems integration capabilities.
