Keltron receives self-certification rights for three defence products
The products are an electromagnetic log used for measuring a ship’s speed, an echosounder used for measuring the depth below a ship’s keel and an underwater telephone system for ship-to-submarine communication
The Ministry of Defence has granted Keltron, a state-run organization, self-certification rights for three defense products. These products include an electromagnetic log for measuring a ship's speed, an echosounder for determining the depth below a ship's keel, and an underwater telephone system for ship-to-submarine communication.
The Directorate General of Quality Assurance, under the Ministry of Defence, certified Keltron after a thorough examination of the company's quality systems, practices, and product quality. Rear Admiral T. Ajit, serving as the Additional Director General, Quality Assurance, presented the certificate to Keltron's managing director, Sreekumar Nair, alongside Industries Minister P.K. Kunhalikutty.
Keltron has already delivered two of these products to the Indian Navy and Coast Guard, respectively. Additionally, the company has secured an extra order for manufacturing submarine echosounders for the Indian Navy. This comes as part of the State government's 100 days program, where the Industries department proposed a project for Keltron to innovate and develop new products specifically designed for defense applications.
