A Hyderabad-based firm, Alloy Corporation Limited, ie Midhani, has produced a unique military armor with the supply of bulletproof vehicles, which will not penetrate the bullets. This armor not only matches the international standard in terms of safety, but there is also scope to upgrade it.

Yes, Midhani has clearly stated that he is ready to upgrade continuously to make this armor stronger and impenetrable by monitoring the weapons being developed around the world. Also, a large number of such armor has also been supplied. Know how much this armor has and how it proves to be effective for our soldiers. 

Since this Kavach is based on the technology of the Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC), it is named 'Bhabha Kavach'. This bulletproof jacket is not only normal, but it has been claimed to be effective in stopping the bullets fired from the AK 47. Hundreds of such jackets have been sent to the paramilitary forces of the country.
