Godrej Enterprises Group Plans ₹100 Crore Push to Expand Aerospace Business.

One year after Operation Sindoor, which the report describes as having demonstrated India’s air superiority through the neutralisation of Pakistan Air Force air bases, the country’s aerospace ecosystem is witnessing renewed momentum, according to industry developments.

Against this backdrop, the aerospace business of Godrej Enterprises Group has announced plans to invest approximately ₹100 crore over the next three years to drive innovation-led growth in the sector.

The company said the investment will be directed towards design, research and development, new product development, and advanced digital manufacturing technologies. The move is aimed at strengthening its capabilities in India’s aerospace and propulsion ecosystem and supporting the country’s broader indigenisation goals.

Maneck Behramkamdin said continued investments in innovation, advanced manufacturing, and talent development would position the company to support India’s aero engine ambitions and contribute to the global aerospace value chain. He added that the group remains committed to the long-term development of indigenous aerospace systems.

The conglomerate is currently engaged with the Gas Turbine Research Establishment in jet engine development and has manufacturing partnerships with global Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) including Boeing, Safran Aircraft Engines, GE Aerospace, Rolls-Royce and RTX Corporation.

As part of its expansion strategy, Godrej Enterprises Group is also developing a new 100-acre manufacturing facility in Khalapur, Maharashtra, comprising two plants. The facility is expected to serve as a key capacity expansion hub for advanced aerospace and propulsion-related programmes catering to both domestic and global markets.

The group noted that Maharashtra’s infrastructure, port connectivity, engineering talent pool and growing manufacturing ecosystem position it as a potential global hub for aerospace supply chains.

The aerospace division of the group reported nearly 25% year-on-year growth, while exports have risen by over 30%, reflecting strong demand across domestic and international markets.
