Vietnam’s Viettel Manufacturing Corporation has entered into a framework agreement with Ordefence Systems Limited (Ordefence), an Indian subsidiary of the Adani Group. The strategic cooperation agreement between Viettel and Ordefence was inked on the inaugural day of the show and marks an important step in Viettel’s strategy to enhance defence capabilities and expand its global market presence. The event was attended by Colonel Nguyễn Vũ Hà, Deputy General Director of Viettel Group.

“The signing of the Strategic Cooperation Agreement between Viettel and the Indian conglomerate marks an important step in Viettel’s international integration and expansion in the defence industry. This agreement not only affirms Viettel’s capabilities in research, development, and high-tech manufacturing, but also opens opportunities for ‘Make in Vietnam’ products to participate more deeply in the global value chain,” a company official told GBP Daily News.

Viettel and Ordefence will establish a strategic cooperation relationship in researching and developing new-generation defence and security solutions, while promoting the commercialization of dual-use products in Vietnam and other potential international markets. Both parties will leverage their domestic manufacturing advantages to implement an OEM model (manufacturing products based on the partner’s specifications and designs, with products sold under the partner’s brand), combined with technology transfer and mastery for Ordefence’s product line, components, and modules.

Ordefence Systems Limited is a strategic subsidiary of the US$37 billion Adani Group and is focused on the defence sector specializing in providing advanced security equipment and weapons to armed forces. Key product lines include Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAVs), loitering munitions, counter-UAV systems, ammunition, missiles and precision-guided weapons, infantry weapons, aircraft services and MRO, and AI/ML and cyber security solutions. Ordefence will share core technologies, development expertise, and transfer production of high-tech product lines suited to Viettel Manufacturing Corporation’s capabilities. The two parties have also agreed to jointly coordinate in design, technical and professional training, and commercial feasibility assessment for each solution. With its strong international partner network, Ordefence will accompany Viettel in expanding distribution channels and growing their presence in the global defence supply chain.

The cooperation between the two firms will also include specialized training activities, knowledge sharing, experience exchange, and expert deployment to enhance technological capacity and build a high-quality workforce. The Vietnamese firm’s team of specialized engineers and track-record of reliable project execution capabilities will allow the Viettel unit to collaborate closely with Ordefence in developing dual-use defence products, optimizing supply chains, and mastering core technologies under this strategic partnership.

Viettel Manufacturing Corporation is one of nine corporations under Viettel Group and possesses end-to-end capabilities from research and design to large-scale production, supported by modern factories and rigorous quality standards. It has in-house strengths in mastering high-tech component and module manufacturing, along with extensive experience in technology transfer and localization with international partners. Viettel Manufacturing Corporation has a solid foundation to support Ordefence in OEM production, technology integration, and localization in Vietnam.
