Defence & Aerospace - funded, compliant, and growing.
We work with defence & aerospace businesses across India - from first-time MSME registrations to ₹5 Cr collateral-free term loans and the growth engines that compound after.
How the work runs for defence & aerospace.
Defence exports grew from ₹686 crore in FY14 to ₹23,622 crore in FY25, and 676+ startups and MSMEs have joined the iDEX innovation ecosystem since 2018. Defence-tech ventures typically combine DRDO TDF grants with iDEX contracts rather than conventional bank debt.
We map central and state schemes against your stage, turnover, and promoter category, then build the project report and run the applications to sanction. After funding, we sequence registration, compliance, and growth - so the work compounds rather than fragments across vendors.

Registrations defence & aerospace businesses usually need.
- DPIIT Startup India recognition
- Udyam / MSME registration
- Industrial License (Dept. for Promotion of Industry)
- Defence procurement empanelment / iDEX registration
- Export licence (SCOMET, where applicable)
Where defence & aerospace businesses usually get stuck.
- Security clearances and industrial licensing add months before a contract can start
- Long government procurement cycles strain working capital
- IP and technology-transfer terms in defence contracts need specialist legal review
