NEW DELHI. SMPP, an indigenous designer, developer, and manufacturer of defence equipment, has added another feather to its cap. It has been awarded dual contracts under Emergency Procurement 5 on June 22, 2025, by the Indian Army for the supply of Bulletproof Jackets and Advanced Ballistic Helmets. The total value of the order is more than ₹300 Cr. According to this contract, SMPP will supply 27,700 bulletproof jackets and 11,700 Advanced Ballistic Helmets to the Indian army.

SMPP’s differentiated value proposition is built on supplying products with a focus on critical safety standards to be perceived as a trusted brand name in the defence sector. Speaking on the new contract win, Dr. Shiv Chand Kansal, an Ex-IITian, Chairman and Managing Director of the company, stated that “We conduct our business with the motto to ‘protect those who protect us’ and a vision to lead the way in equipping armed forces with advanced technological solutions. Thus, with this new contract, SMPP has once again shown beyond doubt to be better than the best and true to its motto.

The Bulletproof Jackets come with advanced features like dynamic load distribution and a quick release system, which increase operational efficiency by enhancing soldier comfort while offering protection against the most lethal armor-piercing bullets. The Advanced Ballistic helmet is the world’s first helmet that protects against AK-47 fired lethal Hard Steel Core ammunition.

Speaking on the continual success of SMPP, Ashish Kansal, also an Ex-IITian, Director & CEO of the company, stated that “SMPP has been leading the personal protection market in India with more than 90% market share (as per 1Lattice report) owing to its immense focus on R&D with over 17 patents filed and 10 patents granted. This obsession with research ensures constant upgradation of product to meet the evolving needs of our soldiers”. 

SMPP has a manufacturing facility for personal protection products at Palwal (Haryana) and made its first ballistic grade boron carbide plate in 2008 with its in-house developed technology. The testament to the technology is the continuous order from a global aircraft manufacturer since 2014. From one of the largest orders of 186,138 bullet-resistant jackets of Level III and III+ protection for the Indian Army in 2018 which was delivered not just on time but well before the scheduled delivery date, SMPP has come a long way in supplying protective gear to our soldiers including specialist products like Ballistic Helmets for Sikh Soldiers and Ballistic Shields which stop Armor Piercing bullets.

The Indian defence manufacturing sector is witnessing an unprecedented transformation, fueled by the government’s dynamic initiatives. As the demand for Indigenous defence solutions grows, local manufacturers are stepping up to meet the needs of the Indian Armed Forces and beyond. Among these, SMPP Limited has carved a unique niche for itself by emerging as a major contributor in enabling India to achieve ‘Atmanirbharta’ in Defence production through its outstanding quality and yet competitive pricing capabilities.

A History Steeped in Irregularities

Established in 2000 as a modest playgroup by Mr. Nasir Akbar Khan, Mrs. Shaheda Nasir Khan, and Mr. Asadullah Musafir Khan, the institution began functioning without necessary approvals from educational and municipal authorities. In 2008, the playgroup was converted into a full-fledged school and brought under the umbrella of the New Maharashtra Education Trust. This transition, however, was not accompanied by the requisite legal permissions.

Over the years, residents of Jay Cooperative Housing Society have lodged multiple complaints highlighting unauthorized construction, misrepresentation in official documents, and the misuse of residential premises for commercial educational purposes. These allegations, supported by structural audit reports, point to significant safety hazards and administrative non-compliance.

Judiciary and Administrative Directives Ignored

The school’s legal history is extensive. In 2007, the Deputy Registrar of Co-operative Societies rejected applications related to unauthorized properties held by the school. This decision was subsequently upheld by the Bombay High Court. Despite these legal setbacks, the school has continued operations, seemingly immune to regulatory action.

A 2008 Memorandum of Understanding between the school’s trustees and society members included a commitment to relocate the institution. However, residents claim that the assurances have proved empty, and the school continues to operate in contempt of judicial directives.

Community Under Duress

The fallout has been severe for the residents of Jay Cooperative Housing Society. Beyond the noise, traffic, and strain on shared infrastructure, several residents allege they have faced harassment and intimidation. Instances of physical altercations and threats reportedly linked to school management have been brought to the attention of local law enforcement, but residents allege that follow-up action has been minimal.

In addition, expert reports warn that the unauthorized structural modifications within residential flats used for classrooms pose risks to both students and residents.

Authorities Aware, Yet Inaction Persists

Despite receiving multiple notices from the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and the School Education and Sports Department, Orchid Primary School continues to operate without impunity. Authorities have acknowledged violations of the National Building Code, the Right to Education Act, and other statutory norms, yet enforcement has remained largely symbolic.

Recent inspections and official reports have confirmed these violations, urging immediate corrective action. Still, residents argue that unless these findings are backed by real-time enforcement, they remain ineffectual.

Urgent Need for Accountability

This case highlights an urgent need for an overhaul in enforcement mechanisms and regulatory follow-through. The continuous operation of an illegal educational institution in a residential complex not only endangers lives but also sets a dangerous precedent for disregard of the law.

The residents of Jay Cooperative Housing Society have called on the Pune Municipal Corporation, education authorities, and the Chief Minister’s Office to take decisive action. Their demand: the relocation of the school, restoration of legal order, and protection of their rights as citizens.

As the saga of Orchid Primary School unfolds, it stands as a testament to the consequences of unchecked violations and the urgent need for systemic accountability in urban governance.
