Godrej Enterprises Group is strengthening India’s aerospace and aero engine manufacturing ecosystem with fresh investments, advanced precision engineering capabilities and expanding partnerships with global aerospace majors. The company on Tuesday said it plans to invest nearly ₹100 crore over the next three years to accelerate growth in design, research and development, new product development and advanced digital manufacturing technologies. The aerospace business of the group, established in the 1980s, has emerged as a key player in the global aerospace supply chain and currently partners with leading aerospace OEMs including Boeing, Safran Aircraft Engines, GE Aerospace, Rolls-Royce and RTX. The company said it is the only private player in India with demonstrated capability to manufacture all modules of an aero engine, supporting the Centre’s Atmanirbhar Bharat vision.
The company has recorded nearly 25 per cent year-on-year growth, while exports have risen by over 30 per cent. It has also set up a dedicated R&D centre and a specialised design office focused on mechanical and electromechanical actuation systems for aircraft. Its new 100-acre manufacturing facility at Khalapur in Maharashtra is expected to strengthen capacity for advanced aerospace and propulsion-related programmes. Maneck Behramkamdin, Business Head of the Aerospace Business, said the company remains focused on innovation, quality execution and indigenisation of critical aerospace systems, including actuators developed within India.
From a Guwahati market perspective, industry experts believe the growth of India’s aerospace manufacturing sector could create opportunities for engineering graduates, precision component suppliers and skilled technical workers from the Northeast. Guwahati’s growing industrial and logistics network is also expected to support future participation in the country’s expanding aerospace supply chain ecosystem.
