The Bengaluru-based aerospace components manufacturer intends to use the funds primarily to enhance vertical integration, increase production capacity at the new site, and support additional business operations.
JJG Aero, a manufacturer specializing in aerospace components, recently secured a significant investment of USD 12 million (approximately INR 100 crore) from CX Partners. The company plans to allocate these funds primarily to enhance the manufacturing capabilities of its new facility, pursue further vertical integration, and support various corporate initiatives.
Anuj Jhunjhunwala, the CEO of JJG Aero, highlighted the intense demand currently challenging the aerospace supply chain, noting that traditional suppliers in Western countries are struggling to keep up. He pointed out that due to global geopolitical dynamics, economic stability, and supportive government policies, India is exceptionally well-positioned to benefit in this sector. Jhunjhunwala emphasized JJG Aero’s strengths and strategic offerings, positioning the company as a rising influencer within the global aerospace ecosystem. He also mentioned India’s increasing attractiveness as a hub for sourcing aerospace components and parts, underscoring the company’s success in becoming a strategic vendor for numerous prestigious clients.
Founded in 2008, JJG Aero provides a broad spectrum of manufacturing services and boasts over 30 NADCAP-certified special processes, such as electroplating, anodizing, painting, and non-destructive testing (NDT). The company focuses predominantly on the commercial aerospace sector, leveraging its capabilities to serve clients in the automotive and industrial segments as well. Jhunjhunwala shared that the company has invested the past decade in honing its capabilities, compliance standards, and customer relationships, achieving the necessary approvals and certifications to position itself for rapid growth.
Operating with a workforce of 700, JJG Aero maintains three fully integrated manufacturing sites in the Bommasandra-Jigani area near Bengaluru, Karnataka. The company boasts a client roster that includes major American and European original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier-1 vendors.
Vivek Chhachhi, Managing Partner at CX Partners, expressed that this investment would enable JJG Aero not only to continue its trajectory of growth through increased capacity but also to enhance the quality of its earnings by focusing on higher value-added components. He remarked on the proven capacity of Indian businesses to deliver high-quality products and services as outsourcing partners. Chhachhi believes that the manufacturing of aero-engine components represents a growing segment in India’s outsourcing narrative in manufacturing, and he is confident that JJG Aero is well-equipped to seize these opportunities and strengthen its market presence further.
