Safran Electronics & Defense announces the expansion of its activities in India with the opening of a new production site for electronic cards and aeronautics and defense calculators in Bengaluru, as well as a new research and development (R&D) center in electronics.
These sites will contribute to the international expansion and exports from India of Safran Electronics & Defense in the fields of defense, space, and avionics. They will reinforce the strong ties between Safran Electronics & Defense and its Indian customers and partners by simplifying industrial schemes, especially to accelerate the availability of critical equipment.
“This double investment, a significant step in the development of Safran Electronics & Defense's industrial and R&D activities in India, aims to enhance the competitiveness and local integration of industrial and technological activities. This project, which aligns with the government's Make in India program, demonstrates Safran's commitment to leveraging the skills and talents of the Indian industry while actively contributing to the industrial growth of the country,” emphasizes Franck Saudo, CEO of Safran Electronics & Defense.
The electronics production site, which will employ nearly 400 people, will be located in the airport area of Bengaluru, covering an area of 12,000 m². Industrial activities will begin in the first half of 2026, reaching an annual production capacity of around 30,000 pieces of equipment and several hundred references by 2030. The R&D center will be located in the Kalyani Tech Park on 3,000 m². It will be operational from August 2025 and will quickly grow to a team of 250 engineers and technicians.
This double investment strengthens Safran Electronics & Defense's global capabilities and expertise in production and engineering in the field of electronics.
