Adani Enterprises shares rise 2.5% after unit buys 73% stake in Flight Simulation Technique Centre for Rs 820 cr

HASL is 50% owned by ADSTL, and the remaining shareholding rests with Prime Aero Services LLP.

The conglomerate already has its presence in the airport and MRO sector.

India's defence pilot training ecosystem is emerging as a major opportunity, mirroring trends in civil aviation where simulator-based training lowers costs and improves safety and efficiency, the company said.

FSTC has outlined robust growth plans to scale across both defence and civil domains, it said. It operates one of India's largest flying schools at Haryana's Bhiwani and Narnaul.

"This acquisition is the next step in our strategy to build a fully integrated aviation services platform. With FSTC joining Air Works and Indamer Technics, we can now serve customers across civil MRO, general aviation MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul), defence MRO and full-stack flight training," said Ashish Rajvanshi, CEO, Adni Defence & Aerospace.

"With Indian airlines expected to induct over 1,500 aircraft, the requirement for certified pilots will multiply sharply. At the same time, the government's thrust on advanced training and mission rehearsal for armed forces creates new opportunities in defence simulation. In line with our philosophy of helping build a secure nation, we aim to support the next generation of Indian defence pilots," he added.

So far in 2025, the stock fell 6%.
