Speaking on the occasion, Jayant Patil said, "We have been associated with the development of BRAHMOS missile programme since 2000, when as part of the composite team led by DRDO, we engaged with the Russian Federation and embarked on this vast project. As proven partners of all variants of Naval missile launchers for BRAHMOS, we took up the design of the unique Quad Launcher and realised the prototype in 18 months. The Launcher underwent rigorous testing, including by the NPOM specialists, prior to receiving of production clearance. L&T will now take up the bulk production of the Quad Launchers."

While receiving the new launcher, Dr. Sudhir Mishra said, "BrahMos has taken an exemplary lead in the Indian Government's ‘Make in India' drive. In fact, BrahMos Aerospace practices ‘Design-In-India'-the next level of ‘Make in India', which has resulted in the establishment of a consortium of  over  200  industries  involved  in  the  design,  development,  testing  and production of  various systems and sub-systems for the universal BRAHMOS missile and its various ground/ air / sea based systems."
