Summary:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the Armoured System Complex (ACS) built at L&T company premises at Hazira in Surat on Saturday. The L&T had signed a Rs 4,500-crore contract with the Defence Ministry in 2017 to supply 100 units of K-9 Vajra-T guns to the Army. The ACS has been developed by L&T to manufacture K-9 Vajra-T self-propelled Howitzer guns, the first private company in India to produce such a facility to manufacture the advanced high-end guns.

Modi will arrive at the L&T unit and visit the manufacturing plant of the guns, and later address people on the company premises..
