The project was a major program involving several DRDO Labs, Public and Private Sector Firms. This was one of the first major projects involving the Private sector. <a href="/wiki/Larsen_%26_Toubro" title="Larsen & Toubro">L&T</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tata_Group" title="Tata Group">Tata</a> have been given orders worth Rs. 390 crores </p><p>The system comprises a free-flight artillery rocket with different types of warheads & fuzes, a multi-tube launcher vehicle, a replenishment-cum-loader vehicle, a replenishment vehicle and a command post vehicle. The system is capable of firing in salvo mode within 48 sec, neutralizing an area of 700 x 500 m. The Pinaka was successfully used in <a href="/wiki/Kargil_War" title="Kargil War">Kargil War</a> against Fortified Pakistani Positions in the mountains.
