End-to-end hardening of buildings, perimeters and critical infrastructure against ballistic attack, blast and drone threats. From embassy-grade façade glazing to anti-drone suppression tunnels — SMI delivers turnkey architectural protection for India's most demanding sites.
SMI's architectural armouring process begins with a threat assessment and site survey by our technical team. We model ballistic and blast exposures for each elevation, specify the appropriate protection levels for glazing, walls and structure, and supply turnkey installation through our certified contractor network.
All architectural armouring is independently tested and certified. We work closely with project architects and MEP consultants to ensure that protection is integrated without compromising building aesthetics, natural light or mechanical performance.
SMI has delivered specialized architectural armouring and hardened infrastructure solutions for VVIP residences, government facilities, critical infrastructure, and high-security environments across India.
Bespoke architectural armouring systems developed for Reliance corporate facilities, integrating ballistic-resistant glazing, reinforced structural systems, and discreet security enhancements while preserving modern architectural aesthetics.
Custom-designed secure enclosure engineered for high-profile public interaction environments. Designed to provide discreet ballistic protection while maintaining openness, visibility, and architectural elegance.
Hardened observation tower engineered for high-security government deployment with ballistic protection, blast mitigation, and continuous operational readiness.
Custom tactical bunker systems designed for rapid secure deployment during elevated threat scenarios, integrating reinforced ballistic protection and hardened infrastructure.
EN 1063 defines internationally recognized ballistic protection standards for bullet-resistant glazing systems, ranging from handgun threats to armor-piercing rifle ammunition. SMI Architectural Armouring solutions are engineered according to operational threat assessments and certified ballistic performance requirements.
Our ballistic glazing systems undergo rigorous evaluation and testing procedures to ensure dependable protection performance for embassies, command centers, secure infrastructure, financial institutions, and high-risk architectural environments.

Ballistic and blast hardening extends beyond glazing. SMI supplies and installs the full building envelope — armoured doors and frames, ballistic wall cladding panels and blast-resistant partition systems — all to certified protection levels.
Steel-core armoured door leaf with blast-rated perimeter frame and multi-point locking. Rated for blast overpressure from 50 mbar to 1,000 mbar per ISO 16933.
Bolt-on or adhesive-fix cladding panels for retrofit hardening of existing masonry or concrete walls. Ceramic-composite and UHMWPE panel systems to EN 1063 BR4–BR7.
Turnkey construction of hardened safe rooms, panic rooms and secure communications rooms within existing buildings. Full 360° protection including ceiling and floor.
Bullet-resistant transaction windows, teller counters and security partitions for banks, government service centres, embassies and police stations.
Overhead blast protection using suspended composite ceiling systems and blast-rated raised floor panels. Used in critical infrastructure and command centres.
Vehicle-rated hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) solutions — surface-mount bollards, wedge barriers and shallow-foundation blockers for vehicle-borne IED threat mitigation.
SMI's anti-drone systems take a physical suppression approach — hardened architectural structures that prevent drone penetration at the perimeter boundary without relying on electronic jamming or active kinetics. Suitable for nuclear facilities, military compounds and critical infrastructure where electronic countermeasures are restricted or unreliable.
SMI's blast-resistant observation towers are purpose-engineered guard and watch towers for border posts, military forward operating bases, prison perimeters and critical infrastructure sites. The structure is designed to maintain occupant survivability under IED, mortar and artillery blast loads while providing 360° ballistic-protected observation.
Towers are supplied in prefabricated modular sections for rapid site assembly with minimal heavy plant. Custom heights from 6 m to 25 m with single or multi-storey observation cabins.
Operational since 1995 — three decades of architectural armouring installations across India.
Glass lamination, steel fabrication, cladding panels, and ballistic integration systems manufactured at our Nangloi facility.
Products independently evaluated and certified through rigorous ballistic testing procedures before deployment.
Cleared for supply to government facilities, police, paramilitary organizations, and critical infrastructure projects.
Ministries, secretariats, high courts, parliament-adjacent offices, and strategic government facilities.
Army, BSF, CRPF, NSG compounds, military installations, and forward operating environments.
Embassies, high commissions, consulates, diplomatic residences, and foreign mission infrastructure.
Refineries, power plants, data centres, command facilities, transportation hubs, and financial institutions.
