Three major defence testing facilities to be launched in Uttar Pradesh

Uttar Pradesh is set to enhance its defence and space technology infrastructure with three new projects under the Defence Testing Infrastructure Scheme (DTIS). Located in Kanpur and Lucknow, these projects will address critical shortcomings in defence testing. Funded by the Union and state governments, they aim to boost indigenous defence production, with significant investments from MIDHANI, BEL, and HAL. The initiative supports advanced R&D, quality assurance, and the self-reliance mission.
