The Indian Navy successfully developed a new explosive which is two times more lethal than standard TNT (Trinitrotoluene).

 ❖ The new explosive named SEBEX 2 was developed by the Nagpur-based Solar Industries.

❖ It is now among the most powerful weapon non-nuclear explosives.

❖ SEBEX 2 is a new explosive formulation that provides a much more powerful blast effect than any currently available solid explosive.

❖ The Indian Navy has also certified SITBEX 1 – the EEL’s first thermobaric explosive.

❖ SITBEX 1, which generates extended blast duration with intense heat, is suited to target enemy bunkers, tunnels, and other fortified positions.
