For its research and development, Bharat Dynamics has created the Amogha-III, a third-generation anti-tank guided missile. Upon the successful conclusion of user trials, this missile will be made available to the Indian Armed Forces and the export market.

Moreover, the company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Hyderabad to collaborate on developing AI-based technologies for its products.
