Bengaluru, India – 7th November, 2025: AXISCADES Aerospace & Technologies Private Limited, a subsidiary of AXISCADES Technologies Limited (BSE: 532395 | NSE: AXISCADES), and a leading Indian defence, aerospace and strategic electronics solutions provider, is pleased to announce the strengthening of their longstanding partnership with MBDA, the renowned European missile systems company, for Make in India Programs.
The partnership between AXISCADES and MBDA commenced ten years ago with the joint development of advanced test benches for the MICA missile. Since then, the collaboration has expanded to include critical work on missile launchers, underlining both companies’ commitment to building robust, indigenous defence capabilities. Over the years, the relationship has evolved into a strategic alliance, with both organisations leveraging their expertise to deliver innovative solutions in defence technology.
In a major step forward, the partnership marks a significant milestone with the inauguration of an expanded test bench facility at the AXISCADES’ Aeroland campus in Devanahalli, Bengaluru. This state-of-the-art facility is dedicated to the mass production of advanced test benches, specifically designed to support MBDA’s diverse range of missile and missile launcher platforms. The new centre is equipped with large infrastructure to scale up production activities.
Furthering its vision for self-reliance and innovation in defence manufacturing, AXISCADES is setting up a dedicated MBDA system integration centre at the Devanahalli Atmanirbhar Cluster (DAC) in Bengaluru. This initiative seeks to add capacity in the India defence production system, boost collaboration, and speed up missile technology localisation. Additionally, AXISCADES plans to set up a state-of-the-art Missile Atmanirbhar Complex (MAC) in Hyderabad, which will serve as a comprehensive hub for large-scale production of next-generation missile systems.
Florent Duleux, Group Director Export Sales, MBDA, commented, “The new centre for test benches at AXISCADES’ Aeroland and the new facility at Devanahalli Atmarnirbhar Cluster will strengthen Make in India goals and cater to MBDA’s growing global demand.”
Dr. Sampath Ravinarayanan, Founder Chairman and Managing Director, AXISCADES, commented, “We are proud to deepen our collaboration with MBDA, a global leader in missile systems. This partnership not only enhances our technological capabilities but also aligns with our mission to contribute significantly to missile production ecosystem. The journey so far has been rewarding, and we look forward to achieving new milestones together.”
