Aequs and Karnataka: A ₹2,856 Crore Partnership for Progress

Aequs is set to significantly expand its manufacturing footprint in Karnataka, aligning with the state’s efforts to scale up aerospace and consumer electronics production through industrial clusters and policy support.

The company plans to invest around ₹2,856 crore, including prior commitments, over a five-year period starting FY2026 to strengthen operations across two key hubs. The expansion will focus on precision aerospace engineering products at its Special Economic Zone in Belagavi, and consumer electronics enclosures in the Hubballi industrial clusters, including the Itigatti and Gamanagatti areas.

By retaining Belagavi as its core aerospace base and leveraging Hubballi for electronics manufacturing, Aequs aims to balance operational risk while tapping into high-growth domestic sectors. The Karnataka government is expected to facilitate approvals, registrations, and incentives, ensuring smoother inter-departmental coordination and faster project execution.

Through this expansion, Aequs seeks to deepen its manufacturing ecosystem, utilise existing infrastructure more effectively, and meet rising demand in both aerospace and electronics. The initiative is also expected to contribute to the development of industrial clusters in the state, reflecting a structured and strategic approach to large-scale investment.
