(CMI) to establish a cutting-edge Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facility in Maharashtra. The joint venture will focus on upgrading air and land defence platforms for the Indian armed forces and export clients, aligning with the government’s push for indigenous defence capability under the “Atmanirbhar Bharat” initiative.
