On Wednesday, BHEL said it had signed a contract with the defence ministry to supply 16 upgraded super rapid gun mount (SRGM) against a letter of intent (LoI) received by the company in March this year.

The ministry on Tuesday said it had entered into a contract with BHEL to procure 16 upgraded SRGM, with the associated equipment or accessories for Indian Navy. The contract has been signed under the Buy (Indian) category at a total cost of ₹2,956.89 crore, the release said.

The SRGMs will be manufactured at BHEL's Haridwar plant.
