Adani Defence & Aerospace, the defence and aerospace arm of Adani Enterprises Limited (AEL), has commenced work on a ₹2,500 crore project in Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh, to establish South Asia's largest private-sector missile ecosystem, as per the press release.
The project will integrate the production of composite propellant and Trinitrotoluene (TNT) at a single location, creating India's first backward-integrated private-sector capability for advanced missile manufacturing.
The upcoming facility is designed to bridge a long-standing gap in India's defence supply chain by bringing together the production of critical missile materials and system integration under one roof.
It will strengthen India's indigenous missile capabilities, support the operational requirements of the Indian Armed Forces, and accelerate the transition of DRDO-developed missile systems from successful trials to serial production.
According to the company and the state government, the investment is projected to create around 5,000 direct and indirect skilled jobs while generating opportunities for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The project is also intended to strengthen Madhya Pradesh's position as a strategic defence manufacturing hub.
Highlighting the project's significance, Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav said the investment would reinforce the state's position as a preferred destination for strategic manufacturing and "strengthen India's indigenous defence ecosystem while accelerating industrial growth."
The facility will incorporate advanced manufacturing technologies, automated production systems and globally benchmarked safety standards to support multiple missile programmes. It is designed to meet the requirements of the Indian Armed Forces and trusted international partners.
Jeet Adani, Director, Adani Defence & Aerospace, said the project will integrate critical material production at one location, creating “South Asia’s largest private-sector missile ecosystem” while contributing to Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
Following successful DRDO trials with Adani Defence & Aerospace, several indigenous missile systems, including NGARM, RUDRAM-II, NASM-SR, LRGB 'Gaurav' and TARA, are progressing towards production.
Calling it "the beginning of a new industrial chapter" for the Shivpuri-Guna region, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said the project will generate high-quality employment and help build a strong industrial ecosystem.
