Aequs said in an exchange filing that it has signed long-term supply agreements with Safran, a global leader in the aerospace industry, for critical components.
These agreements reflect the commitment of both companies to strengthen their collaboration and highlight Safran’s dedication to working with trusted, high-quality industrial partners. The contracts will support Safran’s supply chain and ongoing production programs, while also contributing to the growth and development of Aequs within the aerospace sector.
This milestone represents a significant opportunity for Aequs to further expand its activities alongside one of the world’s leading aerospace companies.
The agreements build on Aequs’ longstanding engagement with Safran Landing Systems and extend the relationship to Safran Aerosystems, broadening the scope of collaboration. The awards cover the machining of superalloy parts, along with the supply of complex machining, coating, and assembly of landing gear components for the Airbus A320, A330, A350, and Boeing 787 programs.
Aequs will leverage its integrated aerospace manufacturing ecosystem and end-to-end capabilities across forging, precision machining, special processes, surface treatment, and assembly to manufacture these products. The agreements further strengthen the role of Aequs’ Belagavi Aerospace Cluster as an integrated manufacturing base serving global aerospace supply chains. This capability base will be further expanded with the upcoming Aequs Engine Components Ecosystem (AECE) in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, where the manufacture of all medium and large parts will be undertaken.
Aravind Melligeri, Executive Chairman and CEO of Aequs, said: “These agreements reflect what Aequs was built for: long-horizon partnerships anchored in capability, reliability, and scale. The components Aequs will manufacture for Safran are among the most demanding flight-critical products to industrialize. Being entrusted with these products is strong proof of the trust we have built with our customers over the years and of the capabilities we have developed across our manufacturing ecosystems. These landmark awards further demonstrate the depth of aerospace manufacturing capability now available in India and the strength of the ecosystem we have created.”
This announcement comes close on the heels of the agreement signed between Aequs and Safran Landing Systems in July 2026 for the supply of fully assembled A320 family aircraft wheels. The wheels agreement is Aequs’ first serial production agreement extending beyond 15 years, through 2042, and will see complete aircraft wheels manufactured entirely in India—from Indian-sourced aluminium to final assembly and testing—creating 100% in-country manufacturing value addition.
The latest agreements build further on a relationship between Aequs and Safran that spans more than a decade and extends across multiple Safran businesses. Together, the agreements reflect the growing depth of Aequs’ aerospace manufacturing capabilities and its expanding role in supporting global aerospace supply chains from India.
