@porky_kicker ... On other hand, it looks more like Torpedo launch tube.

I think it might just be ovens to cure carbon composites!!

The clue lies in the top right picture

It shows a missile section being loaded.

The thing is a carrier cannister for field replaceable warheads for prithvi missiles.

I heard the system has (is) being extended to support other missile systems.

if you have the orignal small size image. open in irfan view and change size by increasing pixel per inch, that way you wont loose much (slightly less pixelation) during image zoom

It's already zoomed as much as possible
Original pic very low resolution.

The Prithvi warhead section is visible in the top right pic.

Each vehicle carries 4 such cannisters , they all are armoured and temperature controlled and pressurized to keep the warhead functional during storage and transport in operational conditions.

It takes < 5 minutes to swap the warheads on the Prithvi missile in field conditions with minimum logistics.

They are integral to the Prithvi group.

Interesting part is it allows India the flexibility to swap either between the different conventional warheads and including strategic warheads on the go as per operational requirements in the area of active deployment itself.

One moment it can fire conventional warheads next moment it can fire nukes if so desired.

Same flexibility is (has) being extended to other missile systems one way or the other depending of the feasibility of the missile types

Unrelated it's 99% confirmed Shaurya is ( has been ) operational for some time.
It took part in various exercises.

Centre’s push for ordnance factories

Pune: The Centre has approved 15 projects worth Rs 1,000 crore to upgrade and modernise ordnance factories across the country.
Sharing this information with TOI, secretary of the department of defence production Ajay Kumar on Friday said, “We have cleared all proposals recently regarding modernisation in terms of machine procurement, new infrastructure projects, among others, of various ordnance factories. This is the highest amount approved by the government in the last four years.

Kumar was in the city to attend a seminar organized by the Dalit Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DICCI).

Kumar said there was a perception among people that the government would close down ordnance factories. “However, the government’s current approach (towards the ordnance factories) is positive. It has given significant work orders, including mass production of Artificial Intelligence (AI) items and products for long range artillery gun ‘Dhanush’, to these factories. We have recruited about 2,700 workers at these units and have introduced changes in their manual. These changes will help them enhance production capability,” he said.

Kumar conceded that there were some issues relating to product quality of ordnance factories. “To some extent, we have addressed these issues and more efforts are being put in. The Ordnance Factories Board has been performing excellently in producing tanks,” he added.

He said China made a turnaround from being one of the largest importers of defence products in the world 15 years ago to being the third largest exporter of defence items now. “India too has seen growth in terms of defence aerospace components’ exports in the last three years. In fact, these exports have touched Rs 10,000-crore mark now, from Rs 1,500 crore earlier. We need to continue with this and we are working closely with private industries and industrial bodies, such as DICCI,” Kumar said.

Earlier, Kumar urged more than 300 Dalit entrepreneurs at the seminar to meet the quality requirements of the Indian armed forces. “The government is in the process to hiring private agencies for carrying out quality assurance task of defence products. Currently, only government agencies, such as director general of quality assurance (DGQA), are carrying out this task. But, considering the future workload, the government would outsource this work through authorised third-party inspection,” he said.

Kumar said, “The government has initiated various steps towards ease of business for private industries in the defence sector. If a vendor registers with a public sector unit (PSU), he is not required to register with all the PSUs. These units hold regular meetings with vendors every month. Make in India windows too have been created at these units. These moves have provided impetus to the industries.”

Don't know what this is for

 

[Bleh]

Why is a top defence lab researching on tracking and automatic classification of whales like humpback etc

Because they only have the technical capability to do so...

For submarine navigation, perhaps? (maybe even for ships)
Large whales do give false positive signals on submarine/ship sonars.

In all probability yes, also probably the Swathi WLR as well.

From a DRDO DSJ paper.

Possibly.
Their signature on sonar is similar to that of a submarine. A British warship killed three whales during Falklands War mistaking them for submarines.

It could also be meant for conservation of whales in open seas. Because otherwise species classification wouldn't be necessary...
