Apollo Micro Systems Limited announced the inauguration of a new 9,000 MT bulk explosives silo unit by its group company, IDL Explosives Limited, located near Asansol, West Bengal. The facility, commissioned on October 22, 2026, aims to serve key coal mining operations in the region.

The Bolkunda Silo Unit is spread over 8.4 acres of land and was formally inaugurated by Sri Baddam Karunakar Reddy, Founder and Managing Director of Apollo Micro Systems. The event was attended by senior leadership from both Apollo Micro Systems and IDL Explosives, marking a significant expansion of the group's energetics infrastructure.

Strategic location for coal mining clients

The new facility is strategically positioned in the heart of the Eastern Coal Belt and the Central Coal Belt. It is designed to serve the mining operations of Eastern Coalfields Limited, Central Coalfields Limited, and other regional customers with site-mixed bulk explosives. This location allows for just-in-time conversion of emulsion matrix into explosives at the point of use, enhancing safety by reducing the transport of finished explosives.

Capacity and operational impact

The inauguration underscores Apollo Micro Systems' commitment to expanding its national network of bulk explosives plants and silos. The new unit strengthens IDL Explosives' capacity to service long-term bulk explosives orders secured from Coal India subsidiaries earlier this year. By integrating silo-based infrastructure closer to customer sites, the group aims to improve supply chain efficiency and operational safety.

Group strategic alignment

This development aligns with the Apollo Group's broader growth plan in defence energetics. IDL Explosives serves as the energetics platform for the group, providing manufacturing plants and a nationwide network of bulk explosives silos. The addition of the Bolkunda unit reinforces the group's strategy of offering total solutions under one roof, combining weapon electronics, complete weapon systems, and defence energetics.
