With a soaring $150 million global order book, Hyderabad startup Jeh Aerospace ramps up scale with a second plant in Hyderabad and a $50 million investment.
Aerospace and defence startup Jeh Aerospace has announced an expansion in Telangana with the launch of its second manufacturing unit. The company confirmed on Thursday that it will invest $50 million over the next six to twelve months to scale operations at the new facility.
The Hyderabad-based startup, backed by General Catalyst, Elevation Capital and IndiGo Ventures, said its order book has crossed $150 million in just 18 months of operations.
The new plant, named Mach 2, spans 200,000 square feet (approximately 18,580 square metres) at Horizon Industrial Park near Hyderabad. It is designed to boost output, deepen automation and enhance digital supply-chain capabilities for international customers. The company said the facility will become operational next year.
This expansion also marks a significant scale-up from Jeh Aerospace’s first unit, which opened in January last year on the outskirts of Hyderabad. The earlier facility covers 60,000 sq ft and can be expanded to 160,000 sq ft, giving the startup a flexible platform for future growth.
Founder and CEO Vishal Sanghavi said the new manufacturing unit embodies the company’s technology-driven approach. He described Mach 2 as a “software-defined, AI-augmented system” built to think, adapt and execute with precision.
He added that the facility reflects the firm’s belief that the future of aerospace production lies in the fusion of advanced technology, skilled talent and transformative manufacturing practices.
With Mach 2, the company’s total manufacturing footprint in Hyderabad will exceed 250,000 sq feet (almost 23,225 square metres). It is expected to support larger export commitments and reinforce Telangana’s growing role as a hub for aerospace and defence manufacturing.
