Astra Microwave Products, an Indian company that makes radar parts, got a big order from Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd, a government-owned aerospace firm.

Astra will make 122 advanced radar units and 121 interface frames for a new radar called Uttam.

The order also shows that India is building more of its own defence technology.

The five‑year order will strengthen Astra’s defence order book.
