Adani Defence CEO Ashish Rajvanshi said the award validates the company’s mission to build a self-reliant defence manufacturing ecosystem. The Kanpur Ammunition Complex, spread over 500 acres, uses Industry 4.0 automation and AI-based systems to ensure precision and safety in ammunition production.

The company plans to invest ₹7,000 crore to expand capabilities in drones, bulletproof jackets, and missile systems. Rajvanshi added that production of larger-calibre bullets will begin soon, strengthening India’s readiness for modern warfare and aligning with the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative.

Goyal highlighted record foreign direct investment inflows, improved ease of doing business, India becoming the second-largest mobile manufacturer globally, rising exports, and expanding defence production as key achievements. The production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme has attracted investments and generated employment.

He noted that India’s startup ecosystem, driven by youth and women, has made the country the world’s third-largest innovation hub. Goyal emphasized that the journey was possible due to the efforts of industries, MSMEs, startups, entrepreneurs, and citizens embracing the Swadeshi spirit.

To further boost the initiative, Goyal launched new DPIIT initiatives to improve industry efficiency and a globally competitive logistics ecosystem. He also unveiled Logistics Data Bank (LDB) 2.0, promoting India’s digitally empowered and export-ready economy.
