NIBE Limited, a pioneering Indian defence manufacturer, has announced a landmark achievement in receiving an international order from Israel’s Elbit Systems Land Ltd to manufacture and supply parts for the 70mm class air-to-surface Guided Advanced Tactical Rocket (GATR), as per exchange filings. 

This is the first time a rocket of this sophistication will be produced in India, with the contract valued at $700,000 (approximately ₹6.12 crore). The project is scheduled for execution by September 2026 and is aligned with India’s broader Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India initiatives.

GATR Rocket Order: Scope, Technicals and Significance

The GATR, or Guided Advanced Tactical Rocket, is a highly precise 70mm air-to-surface weapon system with a strike range of up to 10 km. It is engineered to intercept moving targets travelling at speeds of up to 100 kmph and is equipped with advanced semi-active laser guidance for pinpoint accuracy. 

Capable of delivering a 16kg warhead with a penetration capability of 200mm into reinforced concrete, GATR is compatible with multiple global attack helicopters such as the AH-64 Apache and India’s HAL Rudra. 

This order not only positions India to produce such advanced munitions for the first time, but also cements NIBE Limited’s standing as a rising international partner in high-end defence manufacturing. 

The rocket is seen as a cost-effective, high-precision solution for tactical air operations and medium-strike missions. NIBE will spearhead the localisation, production, and platform integration of GATR for both the Indian Armed Forces and global allies, a step expected to improve mission success rates and bolster operational safety.
