Segment Overview

Introduction

The journey of Adani Defence & Aerospace has been marked by significant milestones, achieved for the first time in India by a private sector company. Over the years, we have established state-of-the-art infrastructure, secured marquee contracts, and expanded our capabilities across missiles, small arms, unmanned systems, counter-drone technology, and ammunition manufacturing.

Our strategic roadmap is built on three key pillars:

Adani Defence & Aerospace operates across three strategic locations—Kanpur, Gwalior, and Hyderabad. The Kanpur facility, spread over 500 acres, is set to become South Asia’s largest integrated ammunition manufacturing complex, producing small, medium, and large-calibre ammunition for the armed forces, paramilitary forces, police, and export markets. The Hyderabad Aerospace Park houses India’s first private-sector final assembly line for military-grade unmanned systems, tactical drones, and loitering munitions, along with the country’s first private-sector Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) complex. Our Gwalior facility specialises in manufacturing a diverse range of small arms for both domestic and international customers.

With a strong emphasis on indigenous innovation, we have forged strategic partnerships with global leaders and incubated a robust ecosystem of Indian SMEs, fostering a self-reliant defence manufacturing sector. We have also commissioned a state-of-the-art R&D centre in Delhi, focussed on developing unmanned systems and artillery gun capabilities. The acquisition of Air Works will further expand our Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) services, unlocking synergetic potential for both civil and defence aviation sectors. This move enables us to cater to a broader customer base, reinforcing India’s position in global aerospace.

We are committed to operational excellence, ensuring timely delivery, superior quality standards, and enhanced security solutions for India's Armed Forces. Visits from customers and international delegations to our facilities have provided them firsthand insights into our advanced manufacturing processes and technological prowess. Their appreciation for our dedicated team’s efforts further underscores the importance of our strategic role in enhancing India’s defence capabilities. Aligned with the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative, Adani Defence & Aerospace remains dedicated to bolstering India's defence and security capabilities, driven by the pillars of innovation, sustainability, and national security.
