Adani Group and Sparton Partner on Anti-Submarine Warfare Solutions
The Adani Group, led by billionaire Gautam Adani, is teaming up with Sparton, a U.S. company specializing in undersea warfare, to build equipment for the Indian Navy.
They will work together to make systems like sonobuoys, which are used to find and track submarines.
This partnership aims to make these technologies in India, following the 'Make in India' initiative.
Sparton, owned by the Israeli company Elbit Systems, provides the technology, while Adani Defence & Aerospace handles the assembly and integration.
This is intended to reduce India's reliance on importing this critical technology, strengthening its defense capabilities.
