Reliance and Diehl Defence Expand Guided Munition Partnership

Reliance Defence and Diehl Defence have taken forward their strategic partnership for Guided and Terminally Guided Munitions (TGM), as part of a cooperation agreement signed in 2019. The top leadership of both companies � Helmut Rauch, CEO of Diehl Defence, and Anil D Ambani, Founder Chairman of Reliance Group � recently reviewed the ongoing collaboration and discussed key developments.

The cooperation is centred on the urgent supply of the “System Vulcano 155mm Precision Guided Munition� to the Indian Armed Forces. As part of the broader ‘Make in India� initiative, the partnership also includes a parallel project under the “Make in India-II� category. In this, Reliance Defence will act as the prime contractor for the Indian customer, while Diehl Defence will continue as a strategic partner. The project aims to achieve over 50 per cent indigenous content.

Helmut Rauch, CEO of Diehl Defence, said, “Diehl Defence looks forward to strengthening the current relationship with Reliance in the context of TGM for the Indian Armed Forces.�

Anil D Ambani, Founder Chairman of Reliance Group, added, “We are honoured to partner with Diehl Defence, a globally recognized leader in guided munition technology. This strategic alliance not only accelerates the advancement of India’s defence manufacturing capabilities, but also positions Reliance Defence as a pivotal player in the global defence supply chain. This collaboration is a testament to our commitment to operational excellence and innovation, aligning seamlessly with the Prime Minister’s vision of Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative. It exemplifies our resolve to catalyse sustainable growth, foster technological sovereignty, and position India as a formidable leader in international defence arena.�

The collaboration will also benefit from Reliance’s new greenfield manufacturing facility coming up in the Watad Industrial Area in Ratnagiri, Maharashtra. Once operational, the facility will have an annual capacity to produce up to 200,000 artillery shells, 10,000 tonnes of explosives, and 2,000 tonnes of propellant.
