RRP S4E Innovations Ltd., a leading player in electro-optics and a major contributor to India's "Make in India" initiative, has achieved a significant milestone by indigenising 60 per cent of its cutting-edge products. The company has set an ambitious goal to reach 95 per cent  local production by 2026, positioning itself as a market leader in advanced, cost-effective electro-optic solutions.

 RRP S4E is currently focused on developing in-house capabilities for all critical components, including image processors, sensors, lenses, electronics, and housings, with OLED components being the only remaining imports. The company is on track to deliver fully indigenous systems, enhancing national security, innovation, and industrial self-sufficiency.

The first prototype of a fully indigenous thermal sight, featuring locally produced components, is expected to be released by March 2026. This milestone will enable the company to introduce a 30 per cent reduction in cost, offering exceptional price-performance advantages for defence and security sectors.

 RRP S4E collaborates with renowned technology leaders such as Optexim (Bulgaria) and ESC BAZ (Israel) and partners with leading academic and technological experts globally. These alliances bolster RRP S4E's electro-optic offerings, which include rifle-mounted sights, handheld systems, and border surveillance solutions.

Rajendra K. Chodankar, Chairman and CEO of RRP Group of Companies, said, "Our indigenisation drive not only establishes RRP S4E as a key player in the electro-optic sector but also positions us for exponential growth. This achievement is a testament to our commitment to delivering fully indigenous products that redefine affordability and value."

"RRP S4E's upcoming electro-optic solutions will incorporate groundbreaking features such as lightweight design through advanced housing materials, AI-powered capabilities for intelligent operations, and intuitive software for ease of use," added Rajendra K. Chodankar.
