West Bengal allocates 256 acres to Jupiter Defence for defence manufacturing hub

The state government of West Bengal has approved the allocation of 256 acres of land to private defence firm Jupiter Defence for the creation of a large‑scale integrated defence manufacturing complex. The parcel of land will be used to establish a facility that brings together the production of various defence equipment and components under one roof. Officials said the project is expected to enhance indigenous defence production capabilities and generate employment opportunities in the region. The allocation underscores West Bengal's strategy to attract defence sector investments and strengthen its industrial ecosystem in line with national Make in India objectives.
