In a twist that few saw coming, Anil Ambani — long overshadowed by his brother Mukesh — has now taken a strategic leap into India's defence sector. Reliance Infrastructure has become the first Indian private company to design and develop next-generation 155mm artillery ammunition, signaling a bold new direction for the embattled industrialist.

Not only is this a personal redemption arc for Anil, but it's also a milestone for India's defence manufacturing ambitions. The company is aiming at a staggering ₹1 lakh crore (₹1 trillion) in defence exports — a figure that, if realized, could dramatically alter the landscape of India's defence economy and global positioning.

What makes this development even more significant is that it's happening at a time when India is pushing for Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliance) in critical sectors, especially defence. If Reliance Infra delivers on its promise, it won’t just be a win for Anil Ambani — it could be a win for India’s strategic independence.

 

But the big question remains: Will the world — and the Indian government — trust a company with Anil Ambani’s legacy with something as critical as defence?

Do you believe Reliance Infrastructure can be trusted to lead India’s private defence revolution?
