Reliance Defence has partnered with Rheinmetall AG to build a defence production hub in Maharashtra. The new facility will produce artillery shells and propellants, boosting India’s self-reliance and aiming to raise Reliance Defence share price in global markets.
Reliance Infrastructure’s defence arm, Reliance Defence, has announced a strategic partnership with German defence giant Rheinmetall AG to set up a large-scale ammunition manufacturing facility in Maharashtra’s Ratnagiri district. The new site, named Dhirubhai Ambani Defence City (DADC), will focus on producing explosives, propellants, and artillery shells—targeting both domestic defence demand and international exports.

The Dhirubhai Ambani Defence City will be among South Asia’s largest private-sector defence manufacturing hubs. Spread across the Watad industrial area in Ratnagiri, the project aims to reinforce India’s ambitions under the ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ mission. The facility will supply medium and large calibre ammunition, including 200,000 artillery shells annually, 10,000 tons of explosives, and 2,000 tons of propellants.
This move follows Reliance Defence’s previous tie-ups with France’s Dassault Aviation and Thales Group. The deal with Rheinmetall allows for co-marketing of specific products and shared development initiatives, which are expected to boost exports and capacity utilisation.

The push into ammunition and defence component manufacturing is expected to positively influence Reliance Defence share price over time, supported by growing international interest and the Indian government's policy push for indigenous defence manufacturing. The Ratnagiri facility is a central piece in that broader ambition.
