In a sector where few dare to tread, Vijayan Trishul Defence Solutions (VTDS) is emerging as a bold force in India’s defence manufacturing landscape.

Founded by Sahil Luthra, one of the country’s youngest defence entrepreneurs, this self-funded startup is rewriting the rules with passion, innovation, and purpose.

Headquartered in the strategic Uttar Pradesh Defence Corridor, VTDS is building a cutting-edge 20-hectare facility in Jhansi, where it will manufacture high-quality small arms and ammunition.

What makes the company truly stand out is its independence—no external investors, no loans, just a family-driven vision led by Sahil and co-founder Prikansha Luthra, supported by a dedicated team of engineers and defence experts.

With a clear mission to strengthen India’s national security and support self-reliance in defence, VTDS is set to launch its first batch of ammunition by June 2026, targeting both domestic and international markets.

Beyond weapon systems, VTDS is investing in advanced technology and generating local employment, proving that startups can play a big role in strategic industries. Ambitious, grounded, and forward-thinking, VTDS is a defence startup to watch closely.
