Reliance Infra and Coastal Mechanics Launch Defence MRO Hub in Maharashtra
In a major boost to India’s defence sector, Reliance Defence, a subsidiary of Reliance Infrastructure, has partnered with U.S.-based defence contractor Coastal Mechanics Inc. (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.
The announcement of this joint venture is significant due to India’s growing emphasis on self-reliant defence production. A ₹20,000 crore opportunity in India’s defence MRO and upgrade market. Increasing demand for lifecycle support of legacy defence systems. Coastal Mechanics’ strong track record with the US Department of Defence.
