Building with Purpose: VTDS’s Ethical and Sustainable Vision for India’s Defence Future

As India redefines its defence posture, Vijayan Trishul Defence Solutions (VTDS) is quietly leading a purpose-driven revolution. Founded by Mr. Sahil Luthra, VTDS is not just here to manufacture systems. It is here to build capabilities that genuinely serve India’s long-term security through indigenous innovation, deep-tech research, and self-reliance.

VTDS was established to answer one powerful question: Does this truly serve the nation’s future?
Every decision at VTDS is built around this purpose. We specialise in the manufacturing of small arms and ammunition, but our vision goes far beyond just production. We are building a defence ecosystem focused on precision, accountability, and sustainability.

VTDS is fully committed to strengthening India’s defence preparedness through locally developed, high-quality small arms and next-generation ammunition. Our products are not just built to meet current demands  they are being designed to support tomorrow’s battlefields through smart manufacturing, modular designs, and scalable infrastructure.

We are actively investing in advanced R&D and deep-tech integration. Every system we build is designed to evolve, ensuring long-term operational relevance and the ability to adapt as threats change. At VTDS, we are not simply filling capability gaps  we are building systems that perform with precision and carry the weight of purpose.

For VTDS, ethics is not an added value — it is the starting point. In an industry where trust is non-negotiable, VTDS stands firmly on strict regulatory compliance, transparent processes, and uncompromising quality standards.
We do not believe in shortcuts. We do not chase trends.
Whether it is our internal operations, our external partnerships, or our engagement with government bodies  our commitment is clear: integrity before scale, compliance before convenience.
VTDS is here to strengthen India not just in capability but in character.

In defence, sustainability is often sidelined. At VTDS, it is central. Our sustainability vision is built around reducing material waste, promoting modularity, extending product life cycles, and creating resilient supply chains.
We partner closely with local vendors, Indian technical institutions, and skilled national talent, ensuring our growth remains rooted in Indian soil. Sustainability is not a limitation for us it is a lever for long-term readiness.

VTDS is not just a defence manufacturer. VTDS is a mindset  one that challenges dependence, questions complacency, and delivers with purpose.
India’s defence future is not a transactional process. It demands vision, responsibility, and clarity. That is the path we have chosen. Not the fastest route, but the right one.

From the Desk of the Founder & Managing Director, Mr. Sahil Luthra

“VTDS began with a deep sense of duty to contribute meaningfully to India’s defence journey. For us, this is not just about building systems. It is about building trust, building accountability, and creating a future India can truly call its own. Every step we take is driven by purpose and guided by our national values. Ethics and sustainability are not just part of our process  they are our foundation. That sense of responsibility will always lead us.”

VTDS is committed to building with purpose, leading with integrity, and creating future-ready defence solutions that will serve India for generations to come.
