Anil Ambani's Reliance Infra bags ₹600 cr export deal with Germany’s Rheinmetall
Mumbai: Reliance Infrastructure has bagged a major export order worth ₹600 crore secured by its subsidiary, Reliance Defence.
In a filing to the exchanges, Reliance Infra stated that the order was awarded by Germany’s Rheinmetall Waffe Munition GmbH, a leading global manufacturer of defence equipment and ammunition, according to a Moneycontrol report.
The company described it as one of the largest deals in the high-tech ammunition segment so far.
“This order marks a crucial step in Reliance Defence’s strategic roadmap to cement its position as a dependable partner in the global defence and munitions supply ecosystem, especially in Europe,” the statement said.
The company aims to emerge as one of the top three defence exporters from India, according to the exchange disclosure.
It also underlined that the collaboration reflects a shared commitment to long-term cooperation and aligns with India’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Make in India’ missions by boosting domestic defence manufacturing.
Rheinmetall AG CEO Armin Papperger noted that the tie-up signifies the group’s strong intent to deepen its partnership with India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.
Reliance Group Founder Chairman Anil Ambani called the deal a “defining milestone” for India’s private defence sector.
“The strategic partnership with Rheinmetall brings cutting-edge capabilities to India and represents a defining milestone for the country’s private defence manufacturing sector. Guided by the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat, as championed by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, our ambition is clear — to position Reliance Defence among the world’s Top 3 defence exporters,” Ambani said.
He added that the objective is to not only meet India’s defence needs independently but also transform the country into a trusted global player in defence supply.
As per the filing, Reliance Defence plans to set up an integrated facility for the production of explosives, ammunition, and small arms under the Dhirubhai Ambani Defence City (DADC) initiative.
The DADC is being developed in the Watad industrial zone of Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, and is poised to become the largest greenfield defence manufacturing project ever undertaken by a private firm in India.
The company said this facility will serve as a hub for innovation, advanced production and export-led growth in the defence sector.
