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.
