Explosives manufacturing companies in Nagpur have made a fortune amid global conflicts . In 3 months, the companies have sold explosives worth Rs 900 crore. At the same time, a big order of Rs 3,000 crore has been received. According to the news published in the Times of India , the buyers of explosive companies in Nagpur include not only countries like Russia, Ukraine but also Bulgaria, Spain, Germany, South Africa, Vietnam, Poland, Brazil and even Saudi Arabia. The most sought-after ammunition includes 155 mm caliber shells fired from howitzer guns and 40 mm shoulder-fired rockets. In the last three months, the Nagpur market, informally known as the explosive capital of India, has shipped shells, rockets and other bombs worth Rs 900 crore. At the same time, an order of Rs 3,000 crore has also been received for raw explosive powder. Bombs and grenades have emerged as a new category in the list of exports from Nagpur. According to the report, bombs worth Rs 770 crore have been exported from Nagpur alone from April to June. Figures for the next quarter are yet to be included.

Which companies are getting orders 

From listed companies and mid-sized subsidiaries to new defence PSUs, orders are pouring in. Buyers from other countries are issuing end-use certificates and based on these, Indian manufacturers are getting government licences to sell. Top arms industry sources said exports to some countries are banned because of geopolitical equations. Since countries are issuing end-use certificates, it means these weapons are for their own consumption. Officially, the Indian military industry is not profiteering from the war, manufacturers said here. 

This demand will increase further in the coming times

According to companies, apart from ammunition like shells and rockets, high energy raw materials are also in great demand globally. Nagpur companies, including public sector undertakings (PSUs) like Yantra India Limited (YIL) and Munitions India Limited (MIL), are fulfilling these huge export orders. Defense experts say that this demand will increase further in the coming times. Looking at the way the global situation is developing, countries around the world are buying weapons to strengthen their security.
