Adani Group has announced a substantial investment of ₹7,000 crore to expand its ammunition production at its facility in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, aiming to increase annual output from 150 million to nearly 500 million rounds. The initiative aligns with India’s strategy to bolster indigenous defense manufacturing and reduce reliance on imports, particularly amidst supply chain challenges.
