In a landmark achievement for defence and tech, Hyderabad-based startup Simpliforge Creations and IIT Hyderabad have built the world’s first on-site 3D-printed military bunker in Leh under Project PRABAL. Engineered at 11,000 feet in harsh HALO (High Altitude, Low Oxygen) conditions, this next-gen bunker features a bullet-deflecting undulated façade, a special concrete mix, and was constructed in under 2 weeks. This innovation marks a historic leap in India's defence infrastructure, showcasing how academic brilliance and startup innovation can redefine national security.
