Aerospace components manufacturer JJG Aero has raised $30 million in a funding round led by Norwest, marking the venture capital firm’s first investment in aerospace components manufacturing in India. The Bengaluru-based company had previously raised $12 million in a Series A round from CX Partners in April 2024. According to the company, the funds will be used to set up a 200,000 sq ft manufacturing facility in North Bengaluru, expand capacity at existing plants, and invest in advanced processes and sub assemblies. Founded in 2008 by Anuj Jhunjhunwala, JJG Aero manufactures high precision aerospace, automotive, and industrial components and offers build to print machining and special processing services to global OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, including Collins Aerospace, Safran, and GE. Market research indicates that India accounts for less than 2% of the global aerospace components market. JJG Aero’s product portfolio includes precision machined parts, bushes and washers, brackets, manifolds, landing system components, actuators, fluid systems, and avionics. The company operates over 100 machines across 60,000 sq ft of manufacturing space at facilities in Bommasandra and Jigani near Bengaluru. In the same segment, rival startup Jeh Aerospace raised $11 million in August last year in a funding round led by Elevation Capital. Its early backers also include General Catalyst and IndiGo Ventures.

Deeptech startup Nabhdrishti Aerospace has raised Rs 3 crore in its pre-seed round led by IIMA Ventures (Formerly IIMA-CIIE). The proceeds will be used to develop fuel flex combustor prototype via thorough testing on the fuel injector and combustor, the company said in a press release. This will enable the company to showcase the proprietary fuel flex technology. This will be followed by designs within the power range of 300 SHP to 1,000 SHP and above. Founded in 2023 by Rohit Chouhan and Arjun Srivatsa, Nabhdrishti Aerospace will design and develop gas turbine engines, beginning with a 350 SHP turbo-prop engine for aviation and power generation use cases. As per the company, the micro gas turbine (MGT) engines will be developed and manufactured and will feature fuel flexibility to enable clean fuel compatibility and enhanced efficiency. The first product, ND 350, will be a 275 KW Turbogenerator. The same core, when coupled with a propeller, claims to generate 350 SHP that can power UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicle) and hybrid electric VTOLs (vertical take-off and landing). Earlier this month, Bengaluru-based aerospace components manufacturer JJG Aero raised $12 million from CX Partners. In January, Jeh Aerospace raised $2.75 million in a seed funding round led by General Catalyst.
