Reliance Infrastructure's ammunition development marks a significant leap for the private sector in India's defence industry, traditionally dominated by public-sector enterprises. The company’s involvement in the Design-cum-Production Partner programme with DRDO and ARDE showcases its growing role in bolstering India’s self-reliance in defence production.
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.
