Pitching Pipavav Shipyard as a one-stop shop for all requirements of the Indian Navy, from frigates to aircraft carrier and submarines, industrialist Anil Ambani on Thursday said he will invest an ‘additional Rs.5,000 crore’ over the next few years in the project.

The Reliance Group Chairman emphasised on self-reliance in the defence sector for flexibility to pursue country’s foreign policy objectives and called for more transparent and predictable systems and procedures. “Transparent, fair procedures and processes create a favourable climate, encourage competitiveness and eventually deliver the best overall value for the country,” he said.


Ambani added that specific measures towards ease of doing business will encourage industry participation to boost confidence of the private sector in the new ‘Make in India’ initiative. “This is necessary as the Ministry of Defence is the sole domestic customer,” he said.

Addressing a gathering of top defence officials and industry leaders, he said Reliance Group’s ‘acquisition of Pipavav Defence Company in Gujarat with assets worth more than Rs. 10,000 crore’ is our contribution towards self-reliance. “We will invest an additional Rs. 5,000 crore over the next few years as part of our commitment towards indigenisation efforts,” Ambani said at the seminar on indigenisation organised by the Navy and CII.

He underscored the fact that Pipavav has the largest dry dock in the country, which is the second largest in the world. With more than 30 lakh square feet of covered area for fabrication and integration alone, this is perhaps the largest single location defence manufacturing facility in India, he said.

“We are committed to making it a Global Centre of Excellence in ship building. This facility will be capable of delivering all requirements of the Indian Navy from frigates to aircraft carrier to submarines,” he said. Pointing out that indigenisation brings along with it transfer of technology and industrialisation, Ambani said these provide skill development, employment and also contribute to intellectual capital.

Stressing that the Reliance Group will equip country’s armed forces with the best technology, weapons and equipment, all Made in India, he said it’s heartening to see a paradigm shift in country’s approach to achieving this.

Have you seen war planes, naval ships of other countries sophisticated missiles etc.. ?
:what: You showed a ISIS missile hitting a trawler, from where did "sophisticated missiles of other countries" came here?
 
Anil Amabani is a looser and invites disputes wherever he lands...I wish the deal was signed with L&T or Pipavav was bought by the Tatas or Mukesh Ambani.

Agreed just look at Mumbai metro & Airport Metro
Metro is the latest, he drags everyone to court for every petty issues ...he wanted to name Mumbai Metro as Reliance Metro, he wanted fare to be revised from current 10 to 110...he delayed the project and blamed MMRDA and other govmt authorities including Railways...

Not to forget, he used to give front page advertisement everyday to defame his brother's company RPL...

His looted the shareholder under RNRL, the company which doesnt exists any more and he had promised big projects under RNRL like Cement plans and alll....it was a fake company!

His company Reliancy Energy erswhile BSES is trying all possible things including legal cases to ensure they dont face competition from Tata Power..

He can survive only when he has a monopoly, when he has to face a competition he is a complete failure...look at RCom... and his personal wealth ..how much it was when he divided the family empire and how much is today....and see how much Mukesh is worth today.

He applied and got many UMPP...see how many of them are actualy completed...he seriously lacks focus and ability to complete greenfield projects in time unlike his brother and father!
