Premier Explosives Limited has received an order worth ₹429.56 crore from the Ministry of Defence for the supply of chaffs and flares to the Indian Air Force (IAF). The company stated that the order value includes GST and will be executed within 12 months.
Order Details
The contract involves the manufacturing and delivery of countermeasure systems used on military aircraft. These systems play a vital role in ensuring aircraft safety during operational missions.
Use and Function of Chaffs and Flares

Both systems are essential for safeguarding fighter jets and other combat aircraft during missions and training operations.
