Hyderabad, June 18 --

Marking a major milestone in India's aerospace journey, Hyderabad based Raghu Vamsi Aerospace Group , a leader in high-precision manufacturing, unveiled its latest defense and propulsion technologies at the 55th International Paris Air Show . From indigenous micro turbojet engines to high-performance kamikaze drones, the company's showcase reflected its expanding global footprint and deep commitment to India's defense self-reliance .

Global Growth Through Strategic Acquisitions

Solidifying its position as a global aerospace player, Raghu Vamsi recently acquired WMT Precision LLC , a 40-year-old aerospace manufacturing company based in Syracuse, USA , renowned for producing fuel nozzles for Collins, Parker, and Honeywell . This acquisition enhances Raghu Vamsi's capabilities in critical aero engine components and provides a strong foothold in the North American market.

Earlier this year, the group also acquired PMC Group (UK) , marking its entry into the Oil & Gas sector , specializing in high-performance nickel alloy components for Surface, Drilling, Sub-Sea, Wireline operations -broadening its advanced engineering portfolio beyond aerospace and defense.

Indigenous Power: India's First 40 KGF Micro Turbojet Engine

At the show, Raghu Vamsi unveiled a fully indigenous 40 KGF micro turbojet engine , developed for UAVs and cruise missiles -a major breakthrough for India's propulsion capabilities. Successfully tested at the company's Hyderabad facility in the presence of DRDO officials , this high-thrust engine is part of a family of four indigenous engines (14, 19, 25, and 40 KGF) designed and manufactured entirely in India.

"This engine represents a historic leap for Indian aerospace propulsion. It's the culmination of years of R&D, manufacturing precision, and a bold vision for self-reliant defense technologies," said Vamsi Vikas , Managing Director, Raghu Vamsi Aerospace Group.

UAV Breakthrough: Astra 100 Takes Flight

Further demonstrating its innovation capabilities, the company showcased the Astra 100 , a jet-powered fixed-wing kamikaze UAV developed under its deep-tech brand ARROBOT . With a range of 200 km and speeds of up to 450 km/h , the UAV completed successful test trials earlier this year. Powered entirely by indigenous systems-including flight control, propulsion, and telemetry -the Astra 100 sets a new benchmark for autonomous combat UAVs in India.

"We are building the future of autonomous warfare with 100% indigenous systems. The Astra 100 proves India's readiness to lead in this space," added Vikas.

Building for the Future: A World-Class Manufacturing Ecosystem

To support its expanding product portfolio, Raghu Vamsi is developing a state-of-the-art 250,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility at Hardware Park, Hyderabad . This facility will house specialized divisions for:

  • High-precision machining for global OEMs
  • Sub-assemblies for missile systems
  • Final assembly for engines, UAVs, and unmanned ground vehicles

The plant is expected to be operational by early 2026, creating over 1,000 high-skilled jobs and significantly increasing India's domestic aerospace manufacturing capacity.
