Godrej Aerospace To Manufacture 8 DRDO Turbojet Engine Modules

Godrej Aerospace has been awarded the contract to manufacture eight modules of the DRDO's turbojet engine, a first for an Indian private company.

Godrej & Boyce, the Godrej Group's flagship company, announced on Monday that its business, Godrej Aerospace, is the first Indian private company to win the order to manufacture eight DRDO Engine modules for aerial applications.

Godrej Aerospace won the order against over 25 other companies due to its strong infrastructure, expertise in working with unusual materials, decades of experience in producing liquid engines for rockets and service to global aviation majors.

According to the company, this venture opens up a world of opportunities for future projects to be manufactured in India.

“We are thrilled to have won the project to manufacture the DRDO Engine modules, which is a testament to our capabilities and expertise in the aerospace sector,” said Maneck Behramkamdin, AVP & Business Head, Godrej Aerospace. This accomplishment reaffirms our commitment to making India self-sufficient in aerospace manufacturing and, as a result, contributing to the country's economic growth.

“We are excited to leverage our extensive experience and competencies to serve the needs of global majors in the aviation and defence sectors and contribute to the industry's growth,” Behramkamdin said.

The release noted that this experience will pave the way for future projects to develop modules for civil aviation engines as well.

The company has made an investment of around 500 crores for aerospace and defence projects and has incorporated new processes into its manufacturing processes.
