The Government of Telangana has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with JSW UAV Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of JSW Defence, to establish a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility to make Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in the state.
As part of this strategic initiative, JSW UAV is set
to invest approximately ₹800 crores in the project, through a technology
arrangement with a leading US-based defence technology company.
The MoU was signed in the presence of the Honorable
Chief Minister of Telegana, Shri Revant Reddy and Parth Jindal of JSW Group in
the presence of senior dignitaries from the state on the side lines of the
ongoing World Economic Forum (WEF) at Davos.
Speaking on the occasion, Shri Revanth Reddy,
Honorable Chief Minister of Telengana, said, “Hyderabad, and Telengana, was
long positioned in the global market as software and pharma leader. With clear
vision and diligent efforts, we are now establishing Telengana as a clear
leader for investments in manufacturing across sectors, ranging from
semiconductor, defence, private space to FMCG. My government’s efforts to
position Telengana as a preferred option for the world for its China Plus One
strategy has started bearing results.”
Parth Jindal of JSW Group said, “This MoU
underscores our unwavering commitment to playing a key role in indigenizing
defense technology in India. We are deeply grateful to the Government of
Telangana, led by the Honorable Chief Minister Shri Revanth Reddy, for its
guidance and support through industry-friendly policies that make initiatives
like this possible.”
JSW Defence Pvt Ltd. – a part of the US$ 24 billion
JSW Group – has a strategic partnership with Shield AI, Inc, a leading U.S
defence technology company, to indigenize and manufacture Shield AI’s “V-BAT”,
a Group 3 Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). This collaboration marks a significant
step in boosting India’s defence capabilities by bringing in world-class UAS
technology to the country.
