Reliance’s new ₹5,000 Crores manufacturing plant in Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, will further support its expansion plans. The facility is expected to produce a range of defence products, including ammunition, explosives, and related components, bolstering the company’s domestic and export capabilities.
