As demand for India-made aerospace components surges, JJG Aero is charting an ambitious growth trajectory with plans to establish a state-of-the-art facility in Bengaluru. The company, a key tier-II supplier to the commercial aviation sector, is set to invest ₹200 crore in the first phase of its new manufacturing unit, marking a significant milestone in its expansion strategy.
With traditional Western supply chains struggling to meet the growing needs of aircraft manufacturers and China +1 strategies driving global players to diversify sourcing, India is emerging as a preferred hub for aerospace component production. JJG Aero is capitalizing on this shift by strengthening its infrastructure and expanding its capabilities.
Founded as a subsidiary of JJ Glastronics in 2008, JJG Aero established its first dedicated aerospace facility in Jigani in 2019, followed by another in Bommasandra in 2023. These two facilities currently span 60,000 sq. ft., housing 100 CNC machines and 30 process lines. To meet increasing production demands, the Bommasandra facility is already undergoing expansion to accommodate an additional 50 machines.
“We make small detailed parts, machined components that go into landing systems, interiors, engines, rails, avionics, and other segments of commercial aircraft,” said Anuj Jhunjhunwala, CEO of JJG Aero. The company currently manufactures 1,500 unique part numbers and aims to add 800 more, including complex components, this year.
With an eye on the future, JJG Aero is now in the final stages of acquiring land for its third factory, which is set to be operational by 2027. “The new facility will be built on a 5-acre site with a 2,00,000 sq. ft. built-up area, housing up to 1,000 CNC machines and various specialized processes,” Jhunjhunwala added. The company plans to consolidate all manufacturing operations at this new site by 2030.
Reflecting on the company’s journey, Jhunjhunwala shared, “We entered the aerospace sector in 2007 with simple turned parts and gradually progressed to advanced 5-axis components and specialized electroplating processes. Our first major client was Goodrich Aerospace, which later became part of Collins Aerospace, significantly boosting demand.”
Over the years, JJG Aero has expanded its clientele, supplying components to global aerospace giants such as GE Aerospace, Safran, Woodward, Parker Aerospace, Liebherr Aerospace, and even Boeing. The company’s revenue stood at ₹110 crore last year, accounting for 60% of its group business, with a 30-40% CAGR over the past three years.
With this bold expansion move, JJG Aero is poised to reinforce its position as a leading aerospace component manufacturer, driving India’s capabilities in global aviation supply chains.
