Jeh Aerospace scales to $100 m order book, plans defence entry
Vishal R Sanghavi, Founder & CEO, Jeh Aerospace
Hyderabad-based Jeh Aerospace has secured long-term export contracts worth over $100 million from tier-1 and tier-2 players in the US commercial aerospace supply chain.
“We have been able to secure contracts in excess of $100 million, which has created a very stable platform for us,” said Vishal R Sanghavi, Founder, CEO of Jeh Aerospace. “These are long-term contracts that provide significant visibility.”
While the company currently operates on a 100 per cent export model, Sanghavi anticipates a shift as domestic revenues begin flowing in. “We would not be surprised to see this mix change to 80-20 or even 70-30 over the next four to five years,” he explained, indicating a gradual pivot toward the Indian market.
Demand cycles
Currently focused entirely on commercial aerospace, Jeh plans to diversify into defense aerospace in the coming years to balance demand cycles across sectors. The company operates with a 110-member team from its production facility in Hyderabad.
Jeh’s growth comes amid a broader surge in aerospace sourcing from India. In 2024, Airbus announced plans to double its sourcing from India to $1.5 billion in the coming years, up from $750 million currently, according to Remi Maillard, president of Airbus India and South Asia, speaking at the “Wings India” event in Hyderabad.
Similarly, Boeing has indicated it will increase its sourcing from India, which currently stands at ₹10,000 crore, signalling strong confidence in the country’s aerospace manufacturing capabilities.
While the US remains Jeh’s immediate focus, the company is laying the groundwork to expand into Western Europe, targeting countries like Germany, France, and Switzerland.
Founded in 2022, Jeh Aerospace is backed by industry veterans Prat Kumar, former Boeing India CEO and Srinivasan Dwarkanath, former CEO of Airbus India. The company also raised funds (undisclosed) from IndiGo Ventures, the venture capital arm of airline operator IndiGo.
In August 2025, the company raised $11 million in a funding round led by Elevation Capital, with participation from existing backer General Catalyst.
