Adani Defence & Aerospace unveiled its India's first private sector ammunition-missile manufacturing complex in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. The twin-facility complex, spread over 500 acres, was inaugurated by Army Chief Gen. Manoj Pande and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. 32 variants of ammunition in 12 categories were identified for manufacture by the Indian industry in phase one. The facilities will produce high-quality small, medium and large calibre ammunition for the armed forces, paramilitary forces and the police. The facility has started rolling out small calibre ammunition, starting with 150 million rounds estimated at 25% of India’s annual requirement. With a planned investment of over ₹3,000 crore, the complex will create over 4,000 jobs, with five times the multiplier effect on MSMEs, and the local ecosystem benefiting from it indirectly. The unveiling coincided with the fifth anniversary of the Balakot air strike when the Indian Air Force hit terror camps in Balakot, Pakistan, on February 26, 2019.


      The Kanpur complex is set to become one of the largest integrated ammunition manufacturing complexes in South Asia.
