Poland’s WB Group is expanding its presence in India’s defense sector through its Indian joint venture, WB India, with a new strategic agreement signed at Aero India 2025. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Larsen & Toubro (L&T) marks a significant milestone in WB India’s efforts to increase its footprint in India’s thriving defense-tech ecosystem. The partnership focuses on decentralized collaborative autonomy, an emerging technology that enables multiple drones to operate in harmony with minimal human intervention.
The collaboration aims to develop next-generation autonomous solutions tailored for India’s military reconnaissance, surveillance, and operational needs. WB India’s CEO, Ashish Sharma, praised the partnership, stating that it will deliver “tailored, indigenous systems that will significantly augment the capabilities of the Indian Armed Forces.”
India is heavily investing in drone technology as part of its defense modernization strategy, with the unmanned systems market projected to grow exponentially over the next decade. WB Group, a global industry leader in UAV solutions, has increased its engagement in India, aligning with the government’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative to boost indigenous defense production.
WB Group has already demonstrated its FlyEye reconnaissance drones in India, with growing interest from the Indian Army and other defense forces. The company is well-positioned to capitalize on India’s growing appetite for cutting-edge aerospace and defense innovations through strategic collaborations like this. The partnership with L&T will drive the development of advanced autonomous systems, reinforcing WB India’s commitment to building deep-rooted partnerships and advancing India’s defense technology landscape.
