    About

    Official corporate records confirm BrahMos Aerospace was incorporated on December 5, 1995, establishing a joint venture between India and Russia to design, develop, and market the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile. The entity operates under a unique partnership model where India holds a 50.5% majority stake through the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), while Russia's NPO Mashinostroyenia retains 49.5%. This collaboration merges Indian operational requirements with Russian engineering prowess to create a weapon system capable of striking land and sea targets at incredible speeds.

    The company maintains its registered office at 16 Cariappa Marg in Delhi Cantt, though significant manufacturing and R&D operations run from hubs in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. As of the fiscal year 2025-2026, the organization reported revenues crossing ₹5,200 crore ($630 million USD), driven by robust domestic procurement and a surge in international export deals. A workforce estimated between 501 and 1,000 employees supports these expanding global ambitions.

    Recent developments highlight a strategic shift toward international expansion. In July 2026, Indonesia signed a landmark deal to purchase the system, marking a major breakthrough for defense exports. Reports from mid-2026 also indicate Russia itself is keen on buying BrahMos missiles, signaling a reversal of historical restrictions and deepening bilateral ties. The brand identity remains tightly coupled with national pride and technological superiority, marketed as a critical asset for modern warfare.
