Reliance Defence Gets Rs 6 Bn Export Order from Germany’s Rheinmetall

Reliance Infrastructure promoted, Reliance Defence (Reliance Defence), announced securing of a significant export order worth Rs 6 billion from Rheinmetall Waffe Munition GmbH, a leading German defence and ammunitions manufacturer.

Reliance Defence’s export order is one of the largest in the high-tech ammunition domain to date. This underscores the strength of its recently announced strategic partnership with Rheinmetall. The order represents a key milestone in Reliance Defence’s strategy to strengthen its position as a reliable partner in the global defence and munition supply chain, with a particular focus on Europe.

The collaboration highlights the mutual commitment of both parties to long-term cooperation, and to advancing the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Make in India’ initiatives by strengthening indigenous defence manufacturing capabilities. Reliance Defence aims to be amongst top three Defence exporters in the country.

Armin Papperger, CEO of Rheinmetall AG while announcing the strategic partnership said, “this Strategic Partnership of Rheinmetall with Reliance Defence led by Anil Ambani’s Reliance Group illustrates our strong commitment to partner with India under the strong leadership of Prime Minister Modi”.

Anil D Ambani, Founder Chairman, Reliance Group said “The strategic partnership with Rheinmetall brings cutting-edge capabilities to India and represents a defining milestone for the country’s private defence manufacturing sector. Guided by the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat, as championed by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, our ambition is clear — to position Reliance Defence among the world’s Top 3 defence exporters. Through this, we aim to enable India not only to meet its domestic defence needs with confidence, but also to establish itself as a trusted force in the global defence supply chain.”

The export order showcases the strength of the partnership, and demonstrates the growing capabilities of India’s private sector in delivering high-quality defence products that meet stringent global standards. The agreement aligns with Reliance Defence’s strategic focus on expanding its international presence, with Europe identified as a key market for future growth.

Reliance Defence will establish an integrated facility for the manufacturing of explosives, ammunition, and small arms under the ambitious Dhirubhai Ambani Defence City (DADC) initiative. The DADC is being developed in the Watad industrial area of Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, and is set to become the largest greenfield project in the defence sector ever undertaken by any private company in India. The DADC will serve as a cornerstone for future innovation, advanced production, and export-oriented growth in the defence sector.
