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.

The board at Aequs has passed a resolution for approval to change its status to a public company and rename it from “Aequs Private Limited” to “Aequs Limited”, as per its regulatory filing. The company is reportedly planning to launch an IPO worth $200 million later this year.

Aequs recently entered into a joint venture with Canadian aerospace systems manufacturer Magellan Aerospace to establish a sand casting facility in Belagavi, India. The partnership is expected to help Aequs transition from modest year-on-year growth to a more robust trajectory. Founded in 2006 by Aravind Melligeri, Aequs is a contract manufacturing company that provides end-to-end product solutions for the aerospace, toys and consumer goods industries. Using its integrated manufacturing ecosystems, Aequs produces complex aerospace parts to meet the high standards of global aircraft supply chains. According to startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, the Belgaum-based company has raised around $95 million including a $54 million round led by Amansa Capital in October 2023. The company is currently valued at approximately $240 million. For the fiscal year ending March 2024, Aequs reported a 19% year-on-year growth in operating revenue to Rs 965 crore compared to Rs 812 crore in FY23.
