SAAB has marked the beginning of the construction of its new Carl-Gustaf® manufacturing facility with a ceremony held in India. 

Following the 100% approval of foreign direct investment, SAAB established a new company, Saab FFVO India Pvt Ltd, which will fully own the new manufacturing facility and produce the Carl-Gustaf M4 weapon.

The facility is being built in the state of Haryana at the MET City at Jhajjar. The Indian state has a strong industrial base of potential partners and skilled employees.

SAAB will partner with Indian suppliers and will fully meet the requirements of “Make in India” for the systems manufactured in the facility. 

At the new factory, SAAB will deploy complex technologies including the latest sighting technology and advanced carbon fibre winding to manufacture Carl-Gustaf M4 for the Indian Armed Forces and components which may be included in other users’ systems. 

The Carl-Gustaf system has been in service with the Indian Army since 1976 as the main antitank weapon in the Indian Armed Forces.
