Private-Sector Missile Ecosystem in Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh

Trinitrotoluene (TNT) production at a single location, creating India's first backward-integrated
private-sector capability of its kind.
• The ₹2,500-crore investment will create 5,000 direct and indirect skilled jobs, reinforcing
Madhya Pradesh's emergence as a strategic defence hub.
• The facility will strengthen India's indigenous missile capabilities, supporting the operational
requirements of the Indian Armed Forces while advancing long-term defence preparedness.
• It will accelerate the transition of DRDO-developed indigenous missile systems from successful
trials to serial production.
Shivpuri (Madhya Pradesh), 5 July 2026: Adani Defence & Aerospace, the defence and aerospace arm
of Adani Enterprises Limited (AEL), today broke ground on a ₹2,500-crore project in Shivpuri, Madhya
Pradesh (MP), to establish South Asia's largest private-sector missile
ecosystem. The advanced missile ecosystem with composite propellant and Trinitrotoluene (TNT)
production at a single location, will create an at-scale capability that is a first for India's private sector.
The investment will generate 5,000 direct and indirect skilled jobs, create new opportunities for micro,
small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and reinforce the emergence of MP as a leading defence hub.
The Shivpuri project closes a long-standing gap in India's defence supply chain by bringing system
integration together with the production of critical materials, enabling the Indian Armed Forces to
induct indigenous missile systems at scale.
Welcoming the investment, Hon'ble Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Dr Mohan Yadav said, “This
landmark investment reinforces the state’s emergence as a preferred destination for strategic
manufacturing. It will strengthen India's indigenous defence ecosystem while accelerating industrial
growth and attracting more high-value investments to the state.”
Highlighting its transformational impact on the region, Union Minister and Member of Parliament
from Guna, Hon'ble Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia said, “This landmark project marks the beginning of a
new industrial chapter for the Shivpuri-Guna region. By bringing advanced defence manufacturing to
the heart of our state, the facility will create high-quality employment opportunities and build a strong
industrial ecosystem for the future.”
Mr Jeet Adani, Director, Adani Defence & Aerospace, said: “Today marks the beginning of something
truly significant. This project brings together missile system integration with the production of the
materials needed to build advanced missile systems, all at one location, creating South Asia's largest
private-sector missile ecosystem. We are proud to bring this sovereign capability to Madhya Pradesh,
strengthening India's defence preparedness and contributing to Aatmanirbhar Bharat."
Mr Karan Adani, Managing Director, Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ), and
Director, Adani Cement, attended the event, which was also graced by the state’s Energy Minister
Hon’ble Shri Pradhuman Singh Tomar.
The facility will combine advanced manufacturing technologies, automated production systems and
globally benchmarked safety standards to support multiple missile programmes simultaneously.
Designed to meet the requirements of the Indian Armed Forces as well as trusted international
partners, it will strengthen India's strategic defence industrial capabilities while reinforcing the
country's position as a reliable supplier of precision-guided munitions.
Since 2020, Adani Defence & Aerospace has developed a robust small arms ecosystem in Gwalior,
strengthening the state’s contribution to India’s defence manufacturing capabilities. From this
facility, weaponry like pistols, light machine guns, carbines, assault rifles, and other advanced small
arms systems are being supplied to the Indian Armed Forces. Backed by the support and guidance of
the state government, the Gwalior complex has emerged as a key pillar in India’s drive for self-reliance
in defence production.
The investment comes at a pivotal stage in India's indigenous missile journey. Following successful
Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) trials conducted in partnership with Adani
Defence & Aerospace, several next-generation missile systems are moving towards production,
including the Next Generation Anti-Radiation Missile (NGARM), RUDRAM-II, Naval Anti-Ship Missile–
Short Range (NASM-SR), Long-Range Glide Bomb (LRGB 'Gaurav') and the Tactical Autonomous
Reconnaissance and Attack (TARA) system.
