Earlier this month, Adani Defence and Aerospace forged a groundbreaking partnership with the EDGE Group, a top-tier advanced technology and defence organisation based in the UAE. This strategic agreement aims to establish a global powerhouse that harnesses the combined defence and aerospace expertise of both companies, unifying their product portfolios to fulfil the requirements of the international and domestic clientele.
The agreement will explore establishing R&D facilities in India and the UAE and setting up development, production, and maintenance facilities for defence and aerospace solutions to serve not just the two captive markets but also Southeast Asian and wider global markets. Adani Defence & Aerospace, part of the Adani Group, is a pioneer in designing, developing, and manufacturing state-of-the-art defence products.
