The company also announced an investment of USD 5 million (around Rs 44 crore) in the next two years to expand and upgrade its facility in Hyderabad.
At its 50,000 sq. ft. facility in Hyderabad, the company designs and produces essential drone subsystems, including autopilots, lithium batteries, battery management systems (BMS), navigation units and composite airframes.
“The facility has bagged an order of Rs 85 crore from global drone manufacturer, FIXAR,” AKSI Aerospace, which showcased its drone development capabilities at the 6th International Drone Expo in New Delhi, said in a statement.
