After getting rid of debt for his many companies, now Anil Ambani is entering into big partnerships.
Reliance Defence Limited, a subsidiary of Reliance Infrastructure Limited, announced on Monday that it has entered into a partnership with Coastal Mechanics Inc to collaboratively tap into India's defence maintenance, repair, overhaul (MRO), and upgrade market, valued at Rs 20,000 crore.
Coastal Mechanics is a US Department of Defense authorised contractor.
Reliance Infra On New Partnership
Reliance Infrastructure in a statement said the partnership will focus on providing end-to-end MRO, upgrade, and lifecycle support solutions for the Indian armed forces, targeting a wide range of critical platforms such as 100+ Jaguar fighter aircrafts, 100+ MiG-29 fighter aircrafts, the fleet of Apache attack helicopters, L-70 air defence guns, and other legacy systems that require long-term sustainment and modernisation.
The segment represents a high-value, long-duration opportunity driven by the Indian military's strategic shift from asset replacement to lifecycle extension and performance-based logistics, it added.
Reliance Defence And Coastal Mechanics JV
According to the statement, Reliance Defence and Coastal Mechanics will also set up a joint venture (JV) at MIHAN in Maharashtra to serve both the Indian market and export markets.
This JV will provide complete MRO and upgrade services for various air and land defence platforms used by the armed forces, the statement added. Coastal Mechanics supplies critical components to the US Air Force and US Army.
Formed in 1975, Coastal Mechanics Company is already a longtime active vendor supporting armament and defense obsolescence issues through the US Army/USAF FMS cases.

Lucknow Super Giants likely to part ways with Zaheer Khan ahead of IPL 2026
The Lucknow Super Giants are reportedly set to part ways with mentor Zaheer Khan as they prepare for the 2026 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), sources close to the franchise have revealed to The decision appears to be part of a broader leadership restructure within the RPSG Group's cricket ventures. 'LSG is planning to move on from Zaheer Khan, and the new mentor will be given a larger portfolio, potentially overseeing the group's other teams as well,' said a source familiar with internal developments. LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka, who is currently in the UK attending matches in The Hundred, is expected to soon name a Director of Cricket. This new appointee will be tasked with year-round development and strategic oversight of LSG and their affiliate franchises, Durban's Super Giants in South Africa's SA20 and the Manchester Originals in The Hundred. Zaheer's journey and transition Zaheer took over mentoring duties for LSG following Gautam Gambhir's departure after IPL 2023. In addition to his mentoring role, Zaheer had also been handling the team's bowling responsibilities after Morne Morkel exited the setup. Previously, Zaheer had a long stint with Mumbai Indians (MI) from 2018 to 2022, serving as Director of Cricket and later leading global development. Bharat Arun's arrival & broader vision A few weeks prior to this development, LSG had brought in Bharat Arun as their new bowling coach. According to sources, Arun's position extends beyond the IPL team. He is expected to contribute to scouting and developing young pace talent not just for Lucknow, but also for Durban's Super Giants and, starting next year, for the Manchester Originals. In a formal statement, Arun expressed enthusiasm about the project. 'It's an honour to be part of Lucknow Super Giants, a franchise that radiates vision, ambition, and professionalism. My discussions with Dr. Sanjiv Goenka and the team management have been highly motivating. There is a clear commitment to nurturing young Indian talent and building a long-term cricketing legacy.' he said. He specifically highlighted the team's young pace battery, including promising names like Akash Deep, Avesh Khan, Mayank Yadav, Prince Yadav, Mohsin Khan, and Akash Singh. 'There's huge potential in this group. My aim is to develop a confident, sharp, and world-class pace unit that can go toe-to-toe with any batting lineup in global cricket,' he added. Under Rishabh Pant's captaincy, LSG had a turbulent IPL 2025 season, showing glimpses of brilliance but ultimately struggling with consistency. Management has already begun course correction, first with the recruitment of Arun and now with changes in the mentorship structure.
