BEL and SASMOS Sign Strategic MoU to Strengthen Defence Indigenisation


Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) and SASMOS HET Technologies Ltd signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on February 16 to collaborate on advanced defence technologies.
The MoU was exchanged by CMD, BEL Manoj Jain and chairman & managing director of SASMOS HG Chandrashekar in the presence of defence minister Rajnath Singh, and secretary (defence production), Sanjeev Kumar.
This strategic partnership focuses on co-development and co-indigenisation in key technology domains, including fibre optics & photonics, tank electronics, naval systems & airborne platforms. The collaboration aims to enhance India’s aerospace and defence capabilities while expanding the export potential of indigenous products and systems.
Manoj Jain said, “This MoU marks a significant step in our journey towards strengthening India’s defence ecosystem. By combining BEL’s expertise in defence electronics with SASMOS’s capabilities in fibre optics and photonics, we are confident of delivering cutting-edge, indigenous solutions that will serve both national and global requirements.”
HG Chandrashekar added: “We are proud to partner with BEL in this strategic collaboration. Together, we will accelerate innovation, co-develop advanced technologies, and contribute meaningfully to India’s vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Viksit Bharat 2047.”
