Apollo Micro Systems Limited has announced a greenfield expansion in Telangana involving the development of a new defence manufacturing facility in Hyderabad. The project includes land acquisition at an industrial park and planned capital expenditure to expand the company’s manufacturing, assembly, integration and testing capabilities for weapon systems.
The company has been allotted Plots 4 and 5 at the Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TSIIC) Hardware Park Phase II in Hyderabad. The total land area measures 22,988 square metres and has been allotted at a cost of INR 12,000 per square metre, taking the total investment in land to INR 275.9 million.
Apollo Micro Systems plans to invest approximately INR 3 billion to develop the site into an integrated manufacturing facility. The proposed unit will be used for the manufacturing, assembly, integration and testing of weapon system platforms, including Grad rockets, anti-submarine warfare rockets, anti-tank mines, artillery munitions and other similar products.
The newly allotted land adjoins an existing upcoming facility spread over 5 acres. With this addition, the overall campus is expected to cover about 10.68 acres at a single location in Hyderabad. The investment forms part of a memorandum of understanding signed with the Government of Telangana during the Telangana Rising Global Summit 2025 held on 8 December.
The company said the expansion is aligned with its long-term growth plans and is intended to strengthen its infrastructure for defence electronics, electro-mechanical systems and weapon integration, while addressing increasing demand from the defence sector.
“This strategic investment, adjoining to our Unit 3, will expand the total facility to approximately 10.68 acres within a single campus and enable us to establish a facility dedicated to the manufacturing of weapon systems and artillery systems like Grad rockets, anti-tank mines, anti-submarine warfare rockets, and similar products,” said Karunakar Reddy Baddam, Managing Director of Apollo Micro Systems Limited.
He added that the expansion would support an increase in production capacity and strengthen the company’s manufacturing and testing capabilities.
