Bengaluru, February 12, 2025: The Aerospace business of Godrej & Boyce, a part of Godrej Enterprises Group, is strengthening its commitment to India's self-reliance vision through signing of multiple significant MoUs during Aero India 2025 at Bengaluru to support national programs backed by the Government of India. A Memorandum of Understanding signed with the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA), Ministry of Defence, GoI marks a crucial step forward in indigenous manufacturing of flight control actuators for India's Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) programme.

This MoU builds upon Godrej's two-decade-long partnership with ADA in developing components for flight-critical DDV-based servo actuators and associated functional elements. This collaboration represents a significant advancement in India's journey toward self-reliance in critical aerospace technologies. Under the MoU, Godrej Enterprises Group will undertake comprehensive development of Flight Control Actuators for AMCA, including precision manufacturing, procurement of aerospace-grade raw materials, assembly and testing, and development of test rigs for qualification tests.

The business is transitioning from 'Built to Print' to 'Built to Spec' capabilities, while embracing transformative technologies like 3D printing to revolutionize its manufacturing processes and design capabilities. This advanced technology enables the creation of complex components in a single printing process, eliminating multiple traditional production stages and significantly improving operational efficiency. The business is also accredited by DGAQA, DRDO labs, ISRO centers, HAL, BDL, BEL and other leading global aerospace firms like Boeing, GE Aerospace, Honeywell, IAI, Parker Aerospace, Rafael, Rolls-Royce, and Safran.
