Adani Elbit Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) Complex along with its aerospace park was inaugurated by Telangana Home Minister Mohammad Mahmood Ali.
The 50,000 sqft facility would be the first UAV manufacturing facility in India and the first outside Israel to manufacture the Hermes 900 Medium Altitude Long Endurance UAV.
The factory— which shall start operations by the manufacturing the complete carbon composite aero-structures for the Hermes 900 and then for the Hermes 450— will cater to the global markets and will be ramped up for the assembly and integration of complete UAVs.
Gautam Adani, Chairman, Adani Group, said, “Our foray into defence and aerospace has a deep personal significance. I want us to be able to look back and reflect that the Adani Group did its bit to help build a more self-reliant India —the nation that is second to none in its defence manufacturing capabilities – the nation that is stronger in its ability to defend itself. It is a critical milestone for the trusted and strategic relationship between our nations - India and Israel. This joint venture facility for the manufacturing of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles is a testament to Elbit’s commitment to our nation and the “Make in India” programme.”
Bezhalel Machilis, President and Chief Executive Officer, Elbit Systems, said, “This facility where the Hermes 900 (MALE) and the Hermes 450 – the most advanced UAV systems in the world – will be manufactured, in line with the Indian government's strategic plan and enables us to share our extensive experience in defence systems and benefit from the dedicated Indian workforce.”
Along with the Adani Elbit UAV Complex, the Adani Aerospace Park was also inaugurated.
The Adani Group has a vibrant defence manufacturing ecosystem which they have developed by investing in medium and small enterprises in India.
