Adani Defence

Adani Defence and Aerospace is accelerating its expansion in India’s strategic manufacturing sector with a planned investment of Rs. 1.8 lakh crore, signaling one of the largest private-sector commitments to the country’s defense ecosystem. The move aligns with New Delhi’s push for self-reliance under the “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” initiative and reflects growing confidence in domestic defense production. The investment will focus on advanced manufacturing, research and development, and global partnerships, strengthening India’s position in aerospace, weapons systems and defense electronics.

The Adani Group’s defence arm has inked a landmark agreement with US-based undersea warfare specialist Sparton to develop and assemble advanced anti-submarine warfare (ASW) systems, including sonobuoys, under the Indian government’s ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative. This collaboration marks a milestone as the first private Indian enterprise to offer indigenized sonobuoy technology to the Indian Navy, aiming to reduce dependency on foreign suppliers.
