Godrej Aerospace

Godrej Aerospace is the aerospace and precision-engineering division of Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd., part of the Godrej Enterprises Group, operating out of the group's Pirojshanagar manufacturing campus in Vikhroli, Mumbai. The division began its aerospace and space work in 1985 under the direction of Naval P. Godrej, initially to support India's nascent space launch programme, and has grown into a Tier-1 precision manufacturer serving both the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and global aerospace primes including Honeywell, GE, Rolls-Royce and Boeing.

Godrej Aerospace describes itself as the sole fabricator, for ISRO, of several classes of liquid rocket engine hardware. Its space-related product lines include combustion chambers, thrust chambers and engine/injector assemblies for the Vikas engine family (used on the PSLV and GSLV second stages), the L110 liquid stage engines and the CE20 cryogenic upper-stage engine, both used on the LVM3 (GSLV Mk III) launch vehicle, as well as satellite thrusters and other propulsion components. The company's facilities include CNC machining, precision welding and dedicated engine-component testing infrastructure.

Godrej Aerospace hardware has flown on India's major recent deep-space missions: Vikas engines and remote-sensing components on Chandrayaan-1, engines and thruster systems for the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter and lander, and L110/CE20 engine hardware for the LVM3 rocket that launched Chandrayaan-3 in 2023. The business is run as a division of Godrej & Boyce rather than as a separately incorporated or listed company, and is headed by Maneck Behramkamdin as Business Head. Godrej & Boyce itself, the unlisted flagship manufacturing company of the Godrej Enterprises Group, was founded in 1897 and remains privately held by the Godrej family.
