Reliance Infrastructure Limited has announced a significant investment of ₹10,000 crore over the next 10 years to establish an integrated project for manufacturing explosives, ammunition, and small arms. The project will be located in Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, as part of the Dhirubhai Ambani Defence City (DADC). Spread over 1,000 acres, DADC aims to become India’s largest greenfield defence project by any private sector entity.
The new facility will focus on producing a range of ammunition, from small to large calibers, along with terminally guided munitions (TGMs). It will also cater to civil and military small arms export markets. Reliance plans to explore potential joint ventures with up to six global defence companies to enhance its technological capabilities and market reach.
Reliance Infrastructure’s defence arm already boasts successful ventures with global leaders like Dassault Aviation and Thales of France at MIHAN, Nagpur.
