AKSI Aerospace Group has announced a major contract valued at ₹85 crore for supplying drone subsystems to global unmanned aerial systems manufacturer FIXAR. The company also unveiled plans to invest USD 5 million (approximately ₹44 crore) over the next two years to expand and upgrade its production facility in Hyderabad.
The 50,000 sq. ft. facility currently manufactures key components for drone systems, including autopilot units, lithium batteries, battery management systems (BMS), navigation systems, and composite airframes. “This order from FIXAR reflects the growing demand for high-quality drone subsystems and underscores our capabilities in advanced aerospace manufacturing,” the company said in a statement released during the 6th International Drone Expo in New Delhi, where it showcased its latest developments.
Pankaj Akula, Managing Director of AKSI Aerospace, stated that the company projects its facility revenue to double in the next financial year—from an estimated ₹35 crore this year to ₹70 crore in FY26. Akula also highlighted the company’s contribution during Operation Sindoor, where domestically developed drone components from AKSI were deployed by the Indian armed forces—a recognition that has boosted the firm’s standing in the defense and aerospace sector.
