On The Shop Floor | L&T Defence Business Is Built On Strong R&D, Says Arun Ramchandani |

- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- L&T, a construction giant with a long history, came into the defence business only at the turn of the 21st century, thanks to Dr APJ Abdul Kalam who roped in companies like the Tatas and L&T to build some parts in the Integrated Guided Missile Programme in the 1980s.
At the beginning of this century, the government opened up licensed defence manufacturing for Indian companies. Then L&T decided to obtain defence licenses. Since then, it has been a thrilling ride, a bit of a roller coaster, says Arun T. Ramchandani, head of L&T Defence in this chat with Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale in the latest episode of On the Shop Floor.
Looking back, he says because L&T started from a core R&D base it has been able to build at least 250 products for the armed forces. About 35 of them are in serial production today. Gradually the company also got into warship construction and has made a name for itself in designing and building submarines too. Watch the full episode shot at L&T's Talegaon complex.

Bharat Shakti is the best defence channel...In future this channel is going to be the best defence update channel
Not really. It's highly misguiding bcoz "personal views of company" are shown. For e.g. recent HAL interview, the chairman spoke about HAL Tejas demands in 5-6 countries and ongoing talks. But in reality they have rejected Tejas (as it is not War tested + doesn't have FOC clearance+ Not used by IAF itself as Mk1 is under upgrade right now) - Nigeria, Egypt went for Rafale while Cameroon, & Others went for Gripen.
@@emotionalIntelligence2078 tejas is abviously not as good as rafale but thats there work improving tejas and its new version and to get international orders
Proud L&T ite😊, contributing in one of the strategic programmes.
Great bhai
Chennai?
“ On the Shop Floor” show has been an eye opener for me. Glad to see the development of defence ecosystem in India and playing an important role in attaining self reliance. Contribution of private players like L&T is commendable. Keep up the good work.
Huge respect to Nitin A Gokhale for the best value added contant about defence
Another excellent episode 👌👌👍👍 L&T is the Best.
Thank you
L & T is the only one organisation which has diversified product catalogues for diversified industries. Hats off to veteran leader AM. Naik who pioneered this organisation to reach the heights of becoming global organisation. Wishing whole heartedly to fix their footprints in future technologies
This is a brilliant series showcasing indian defence manufacturing straight from the ground zero.
Kudo to everyone involved in making this.
Another excellent episode, Mr. Gokhale. It is nice to know that Mr. Ramchandani is from IIT Delhi. Usually the IITians of that time would go abroad.
Don't understand why this great channel is not getting views in millions.
R&D / R&D / R&D that's the key thing , we need strong innovation in niche technology and environment of Ease of doing business
This is a brilliant effort by Bharat Shakti. I know the view count is not much but I would urge you to keep up the good work. Only request, if possible can you showcase MSMEs too? It'll prove and motivate fence sitters like me that, folks with limited means can make something in India. Either ways great effort and all the best with what you do, always a fan of Nitin sir's work.
L&T defense should bring IPO so that the general people can participate in this great story. Also hats off to all IITans who instead of going abroad used their talents in serving and strengthening their nation..
I was always a fan of defence and defence instruments. Always want to know how they made, the process behind them, the engineering and everything. Today I was so happy when I found this channel. This type of long conversation with defence experts and builders is very fascinating.
L&T is the life of our India Jai Hind Jai Bharat keep going brothers🇮🇳🇮🇳💪💪
Ramchandani ji sounds very humble❤
SSS defence or NewSpace Research next plz
If I get access to

@@nitingokhale184 newspace is the most interesting among the lot. They are already leading uav development and research in India.
@@nitingokhale184newspace is a must. But they have been quite secretive.
@@nitingokhale184I'm kind of interested in erstwhile ofb as to how much of a change has been brought after the corporatization.
Hi Nitin Gokhale,you're program is excellent showcase the defense industry in India.Get the opportunity see L&T.Thanks
WOW! Thank you Bharat Shakti for making these videos. These will inspire young students to become excellent engineers for the future and self-reliant India.
This series is so insightful.. Thank you Nitin. So proud of L&T and other companies that are driving indigenisation. kudos to to the Modi Govt as well to revive the defence industry
Shop floor is one of best program of yours, thanks for creating such an innovative series. A must watch.
Many thanks
🚩JAI MAA BHARTI 🚩
I amazed pleasantly to see the level of capabilities L& T has indigenously developed. Our Engineer can do anything. Just support them with good projects. All the best for them to conquer the world not with war but with technologies to defend of a need if unfortunately arises.
What a great channel
Why is it not getting much reach
Proud to be an Indian. We can imagine how much of resources for procurement of these defence equipments were being squandered away in the past. Thanks to the changes in the government thinking & the “Atmanirbhar Bharath” programme, a lot of jobs are being created within the country & valuable foreign exchange is saved.
It only requires a change in mindset, which has happened, though belated.
Thanks L&T, thanks Nitin for showcasing this to common people.
Hats off to Adbul Kalam sir #patriotism❤
DRDO is put to shame by L&T. Proud of you l&t guys.
Proud of you guys Bharat Shakti and L&T🫡
Brilliant channel Nitin, I admire your perseverance
Thanks Nitinji for educating and updating us on Defence related matters.
Proud to have been part of this team...precious memories
Wow... What a company!! 🇮🇳
This is one of the rare high quality series on Indian defence ecosystem
L&T's contributions in variety of fields like defense, natural calamities, construction, and many more is really commendable. The people like Ramchandani are real assets for the company as well as for the nation.
Very happy to hear that L&T had 50 percent of the components of K9 thunder being made. Their Light tank design and production is very critical as it will pave the way for and ingenious MBT and cover all the mistakes of Arjun tank. Hopefully their tanks will take over the retirement of T72 tanks from the army.
Brilliant Nitin Gokhale. L&T is a real star

Thankyou Nitin Gokhale sir and team for value content provided to us
brilliant interview. Thanks Nitin sir!
These series are very informative. Young people get to know about India engineering opportunities so they can explore working in their fields of interest.
Another great talk by BS 👍🏽👍🏽
Excellent episode ❤
L&T is the best company I worked for. Proud GET.
Hope that this series never ends😅
Amazing production, Please show some more footages between talks.. i hope this videos get millions of views
Excellent episode.... Keep up the good work.
Sir,this series" on the shop floor" is amazing keep this series going 👌👍
Wishing you all the very best.
Great content please keep it going on!!
As for the simplicity our leadership and engineers are so simple we need highlight or train them on cyelber and honey trap by our IB. Most probably they must be doing it.
Hi! This is Satindra Chakrabarti from Canada, wishing you (bharatshakti), Nitin ji and Stratnewsglobal much, much publicity. I am wondering if we are capable enough to induce that kind of metal to withstand high temperatures of burning gases off turbo jets if we are to be self reliant on fighter jets. It has a lot to do with metallurgy and considerable investment into R&D. It's like pouring, pouring and pouring money not knowing when to expect tangible results. We are yet to be self reliant on this and can't help replying on the untrustworthy U.S.A. and it's whims.
This video of Bharatshakti is loaded with information we love to hear. Thank you all.
Mr Ramchandani says that the light tank prototype is ready. I hope we can see some pictures released soon of its trials.
Excellent programme Nitin
Appreciable ❤❤
Excellent stuff. Keep it up.
Great piece of journalism
I want to suggest the govt of India to make subject matter in IIT INSTITUTEs defence related, medical related, Research and Development, so that specialist Engineers will be available for industries like this.
Very good series.. bdl, beml, tata advance system, Mahindra defense, Adani defense still to come 😊
SSS DEFENCE, VEM TECHNOLOGIES please
Nicely done. very good.
amazing work by LT
We need more electronics and electrical engineers than mechanical engineers.
Ya dude form my college 7 from e&tc and 1 from mechanical is selected. I am also one of them 😊
L&T metro all power contract provides

Very informative & interesting.
Awesome
Full maintenance contract

Mr. Gokhale, your content is very good. I would request you to please focus a bit on your diction. It is distracting and irritating to see all the "aanh aanh" in your sentences.
I liked this video. But I have a suggestion to this interviewer. Instead of pampering the interviewee the interviewer should allow the interviewee to tell as much as possible so that our youngsters can be influenced by it and thus progress their careers on defense so that Indioa would benefit down the road. That's all. BTW, thank you for this video.
We can be assured of sound engineering of our defence by L&T.
@ Nitin: I'd like you to also include visuals of the equipments, for example the bridge, with some verbiage on the components. Thanks.
Privatisation is important for defence equipment. Govt entities are not at all efficient. Projects get delayed even quality is also not good

Sir i am very interested in future warfare systems like Directed ennergy weapon,unmanned systems, space weapons.So,please make a video and tell us about and are there any indian defence companies are making any progress in that field.
What is the use of artillery if they are easy prey to cheap drones....?
Pune is always a mechanical design hub... 🙌
🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
MoD should give Tejas and AMCA production to L&T to increase the production rate
Nitin sir u r on the right path… what lease can I say
There has to be something that can protect such organisations from insurgency or ariel threats.Are these SAM s ready to protect L&T campus from aerial threats? Does L&T have any type of armed security arrangements to tackle with emergency?
L&T is governor like body we need more pvt firm
Nitin ji great information, film & podcast. You look a bit in a Hurry than Mr. Ramchandani & a bit edgy. 😅
The best thing that had happened to India was ""Make in India !!!"" And it took Narendra Modi,,, allegedly an illiterate,,, to get the Best Indian Programmes to get going !!! 👌👌👌
L&T could & should be Lockhead Martin and more of India..
Thanks for showing our Indian companies power...
L& T please make In India and make Atmanirbhar Bharat in Defence platforms & Offensive Capabilities quantity quality Bulk production NEEDED TO counter 3 front war and target 🎯 Exports in all Geographys!!! FAST
Needed atmanirbhar Bharat Nuclear SUBMARINES!!! R& d needed
BEL, Cochin Shipyard
Does Nitin interrupt and try to finish the interviewee’s sentences?
does L&T IS an Indian company or indian majority shareholder company???
100% desi management. No promoter holdings . Biggest shareholder would be its own L&T employees welfare cooperative n LIC n other financial institutions
Largest Indian engineering company professionally managed with largest shareholding by employees welfare trust.
No shop floor have been seen during this whole episode. 😢😢😢only product inappropriate title
Mai yeh video company ke bahar ek local shop kr dekh raha hu
The L&T has exponential naval capabilities which is untapped and not being utilised... more & more the private sector is involved with DPSUs, there will no longer be years of delay in delivery of warships & taxpayers money would be well utilised then only
Nitin spinner any spinning power or or sweet will taken out from NGO minds with full releaf
On the shop floor : no shops shown or even a clip of their equipment in field
National security dude.
@@sarthakganbote this is a puff piece, plain & simple. The least they can do is add some of the companies own promo clips. or are they marketing it to everybody armed with a paper brochure?
@@hansikursch484 you can check on Google. Actually no one is allowed to disclose any information about the company.
