Adani to Invest ₹1.8 Lakh Crore in Defence to Strengthen Indigenous Capabilities0

Adani Group is planning to invest ₹1.8 lakh crore in defence manufacturing next year, with an emphasis on unmanned and autonomous systems, advanced guided weapons, and other cutting-edge technologies, sources said. The move is part of the group’s aim to play a stealth anchor role in India’s future warfare capabilities.

Adani Defence & Aerospace transitioned in 2025 from extended planning cycles to rapid deployment, with some of its military hardware reportedly used in Operation Sindoor.

Next year’s investments will cover unmanned and autonomous systems, advanced guided weapons, sensors and electronics, AI-enabled multi-domain operations, as well as expanded maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facilities and training infrastructure, the sources added.
