In our contribution to this climb, we are committed to bolstering India's defence and security capabilities in alignment with the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative and strive to elevate India's defence capabilities to global standards, holding together the pillars of innovation, sustainability, and social responsibility. Through strategic collaborations with credible global partners, we have succeeded in establishing a resilient network of capabilities. To foster indigenous expertise and strengthen the domestic defence industry, we continue to make strategic investments in unique products and technologies working with Indian small and medium-sized businesses. Our efforts revolve around positioning India as a key player in the global market and substantially reducing the country's net current account deficit through robust exports.

At the core of our philosophy is embracing a culture of innovation and agility in meeting all defence requirements domestically, by delivering cutting-edge solutions to prioritise technologies and platforms of strategic importance for India.

With this, we have embarked on a digital transformation and an aim to achieve optimal efficiency without compromising quality, empowering the Armed Forces with state-of-the-art technology to effectively counter emerging threats in air, land, and sea.

Adani Defence and Aerospace boasts several 'firsts' to its credit – from being India’s first private sector military UAV manufacturer exporting to global markets, to establishing India's first private small arms manufacturing facility and the country’s first private sector ammunition player. This reinforces the company's unwavering dedication to nurturing a domestic defence ecosystem.

Within a relatively brief timeframe, we have showcased remarkable impact across diverse domains, ranging from small arms, unmanned aerial systems to counter drone systems, loitering munitions, missiles, ammunition, and aircraft services. The proven track record of unwavering support to the Indian Armed Forces and paramilitary forces highlights our role in transforming India into a hub for advanced defence and aerospace manufacturing.

CEO’s message

At Adani Defence & Aerospace, we take immense pride in our strategic investments. We focus on critical technologies and platforms, anticipating future needs. Our approach goes beyond mere assembly, testing, and integration (ATI). Instead, we delve deep into sub-systems and component-level manufacturing, fostering true expertise.
