About Godrej Aerospace:

With a vision to strengthen India’s indigenous space program, Godrej Enterprises Group began the Aerospace business in 1985. Godrej Aerospace started with developing high precision spacecraft components made of exotic alloys for the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Since then, the business has been a part of every other Indian space mission. Today, Godrej Aerospace is an integral part of Indian rockets and spacecrafts, including those of the Mangalyaan and Chandrayaan missions.

Godrej Aerospace is also a manufacturer of precision and hi-tech aerospace components, assemblies, and systems, executing global aerospace projects as well as partnering with global majors like Honeywell, GE, Rolls-Royce, and Boeing for the manufacture of precision components. The business has executed numerous aerospace projects involving precision machining, precision fabrication, welding and brazing, heat treatment, surface treatment, assembly testing and supply of complex and airworthy systems and has garnered expertise in the successful development of liquid propulsion engines, defence systems, satellite components and assemblies, and dish antennas with feed systems.
