The Spike missile systems have met all specifications set by the Indian Army and will be partly assembled in Israel, with final assembly to be done by Bharat Dynamics in India.
The missiles will be installed on Russian-built combat vehicles.
The army issued a tender in June 2010 with Rafael being the only bidder.
