On November 13, 2025, Adani Defence and Aerospace launched its indigenous Agnikaa jet series of loitering munitions, marking a pivotal enhancement in India’s defense manufacturing. Weighing 25 kg with a flight endurance of about one hour and an operational range of 190 km, these munitions combine UAV surveillance with precision strike capabilities, crucial for modern warfare. This development is a significant boost to India’s ‘Make in India’ and ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ initiatives, decreasing reliance on foreign suppliers and reinforcing strategic autonomy. Furthermore, the success of these systems in previous operations, such as Operation Sindoor, underscores their operational value, thereby enhancing India’s defense preparedness and technological edge in the region.
