During Thursday’s trading session, shares of Aartech Solonics Limited, a manufacturer specialized in Electrical Machinery, experienced a notable surge of 4.3 percent, reaching Rs. 71.99 on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). This upswing followed the company’s announcement regarding the development of a Power Module for Armored Vehicles, achieved in collaboration with the Indian Army.
Aartech Solonics, which boasts a market capitalization of Rs. 226.3 crores, saw its shares close positively at Rs. 71.23, reflecting an increase of 3.2 percent compared to the previous close of Rs. 69.03.
The company’s latest initiative involves partnering with the Sudarshan Chakra Corps (EME) of the Indian Army and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mumbai to advance the construction of the Adaptive Alternate Power Module (AAPM). This project aims to deliver a groundbreaking indigenous solution for Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFVs) and specialized artillery, including the K9 Vajra.
The AAPM technology specifically addresses the power needs of tanks and artillery systems, allowing for regulated DC power delivery according to the operational load required, which in turn means the main engine does not need to be activated for power. This innovation is expected to significantly enhance engine longevity, reduce fuel consumption, and improve operational efficacy under demanding conditions. The development underscores a critical advancement toward the Atma Nirbhar Bharat initiative, showcasing the synergy between India’s armed forces and domestic industry.
