‘Equipment testing lab set up at SIPCOT in Sriperumbudur’

Under The Defence Testing Infrastructure Scheme, a laboratory named “LENS” has been established at SIPCOT, Sriperumbudur. The lab will offer testing service on a cost basis allowing individuals and organisations across India to test the equipment they have developed, said Sanjay Dwivedi, Chairman and Managing Director of Armoured Vehicles Nigam Limited. In 2021, the Centre established seven new Defence Public Sector Undertakings by incorporating 41 Ordnance Factories from the former Ordnance Factory Board. Additionally, under the Defence Testing Infrastructure Scheme, the “LENS” laboratory at SIPCOT, Sriperumbudur, will provide testing service on a cost basis for the innovators across India to test their equipment, Mr. Dwivedi added.
