Indian Defence Exports

So, it seems there is an integrated artillery ammo production hub coming up in the Polish town of "Niewiadów". How would you pronounce that?

Anyway, this is a brochure of some kind for that factory:

Google translate is gave me this:

The colour of the shell, the red band marking on top etc. seems very much like our M777 rounds.

So, I translated the other poster we saw yesterday:

It would seem that the Germans are providing the fuzes. The ammo marked as "missile" is MIL manufactured. Canadians are providing the packages. Not sure what Serbia is providing. All of these will go to Sweden's BOFORS for quality control.

I am guessing the translation is poor & "Polonization" is basically their way of saying indigenization. Except the ammo, Poland has established domestic production for everything else. They are targeting "Polonization" for the ammo.

Synopsis
Indian defence exports have hit a record ₹23,622 crore in 2024-25 driven by high global demand for explosives and ammunition amidst conflicts in Europe and West Asia. The capacity is fully booked for years, with significant contributions from state-owned units and a rise in private sector manufacturing. The number of defence exporters has grown by 17.4%.​

A surge in global demand for explosives and ammunition, fed by ongoing conflicts in Europe and West Asia, has resulted in record Indian defence exports, with the figure crossing ₹23,622 crore in 2024-25.

Defence exports, which have been actively promoted by the government over the past decade, grew at over 12%, with strong demand for Indian manufactured explosives like TNT, RDX and HMX in the global market. Sources said that most Indian explosives and ammunition manufacturing capacity has been fully booked for the next three years, with at least five more plants coming up within the private sector in the coming months.

State-owned defence public sector units have recorded a 42.8% surge in exports, reaching a high of ₹8,389 crore in the financial year. A large part of these too are for explosives and parts for ammunition, particularly for artillery which is in big demand in Europe. Reflecting the growing number of defence manufacturing companies in India, the total number of exporters has also grown by 17.4% in the last year.
