Sunita Tools Acquires 51% Stake in Avisan Group Firms to Accelerate Naval Defence Foray

Mumbai, November 20, 2025: Sunita Tools Limited has confirmed that it has acquired a 51% stake in Hyprix Avisan Global Tech Private Limited and Avisan Engineering Enterprises, representing an important extension of its footprint into India’s rapidly growing naval defence and shipbuilding ecosystem. This will allow the company to scale its defence capabilities beyond artillery shell production as well as to cement its footprint in strategic maritime materials.

Sunita Tools Strengthens Defence Portfolio With Strategic Acquisition
