In a bid to move its defence play
to the next level, the Anil Ambani-owned Reliance Group is planning to set up
India's first smart city for the sector in an area of around 5000 acres to
house a fully integrated defence and aerospace infrastructure facility. It's part
of the group's plans to capture a slice of the $100-billion worth of
opportunities that the sector would soon throw up.

The Reliance Group is negotiating
with the Maharashtra, UP, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan governments for land for
the project to be called Dhirubhai Ambani Defence Park (DADP). The defence
smart city, as the company calls it, will support import of components, systems
and subsystems as also export of finished products, along with a fully
developed airfield and road connectivity to the nearest port. Besides, it will
provide a range of auxiliary units across avionics and forging, company
officials told TOI.

The
defence smart city may draw some influences from Aerospace Valley in France, a
cluster of aerospace companies and research centres concentrated around
Toulouse. About 500 companies including Airbus, EADS, Air France Industries and
Dassault Aviation operate in the cluster, creating jobs for around 1.2 lakh
people.

"We are keen to set up a facility
to manufacture and assemble an entire range of defence and civil aero
platforms, support ancillary units and Maintenance Repair and Operation (MRO)
facilities. It would have a centre of excellence, which would be among the best
R&D centres in the defence and aerospace technologies space globally and
will address future technological needs of the Indian Armed Forces,"
Rajesh Dhingra, president, Reliance Defence, told TOI.
