Shapoorji Pallonji backs Operation Sindoor, commits support to armed forces amid cross-border hostilities

In a strong display of corporate solidarity during a period of escalating cross-border tensions, the Shapoorji Pallonji Group has lauded the Indian Armed Forces for their swift and decisive action under Operation Sindoor. The operation, aimed at neutralising coordinated drone and missile threats from Pakistan, is being hailed as a pivotal moment in India’s counter-terrorism response.

In a statement, Group Chairman Shapoorji P. Mistry emphasised national unity and pledged the conglomerate’s support for India’s security apparatus. “In these trying times, it is very important for all of us to stand together as a nation. The Shapoorji Pallonji Group is fully committed, in any and every capacity, to support the efforts of the Government of India and the Armed Forces, to protect the integrity and sovereignty of India,” Mistry said.

The Mumbai-headquartered engineering and infrastructure giant joins a growing chorus of Indian corporates voicing support for the armed forces, especially following recent revelations about Pakistan’s use of civil aviation cover during drone incursions, targeting both military and civil infrastructure. Indian armed forces were able to intercept and neutralise the drones. The drone and missile incursions were complemented by heavy artillery shelling on the Line of Control, where the Pakistani Army suffered heavy casualties.

On Thursday, Gautam Adani, the chairman of the eponymous Adani Group, took to social media to say that the group stands in "unwavering solidarity," and is "committed to supporting our armed forces". The Mahindra Group has said it stands in admiration and deep respect for the bravery and precision demonstrated by the Indian armed forces during the 'Operation Sindoor'.

Mukesh Ambani, chairman, Reliance Industries , also expressed strong support for India's armed forces and PM Modi's leadership following 'Operation Sindoor', emphasising the nation's unity against terrorism. He praised the precision and power of the Indian Armed Forces in responding to cross-border provocations, affirming Reliance Industries' readiness to support measures protecting India's integrity.
