What was announced

Aequs has announced the signing of long-term supply agreements with Safran, described in the release as a global leader in the aerospace industry, for critical components. The agreements reflect the two companies' stated intent to strengthen their collaboration and will support Safran's supply chain and ongoing production programmes.

Scope of the work

• Machining of superalloys parts
• Supply of complex machining coating
• Assembly of landing gear components

The release states these cover the Airbus A320, A330 and A350 and the Boeing 787 programmes. It adds that the agreements build on Aequs' long-standing engagement with Safran Landing Systems and extend the relationship to Safran Aerosystems, broadening the scope of collaboration.

What the company said

Aravind Melligeri, Executive Chairman & CEO, said the components Aequs will manufacture for Safran are "among the most demanding flight-critical products to industrialize", and that being entrusted with them is proof of the trust built with customers and of the capabilities developed across its manufacturing ecosystems.

Manufacturing base

The company will use its integrated aerospace manufacturing ecosystem and end-to-end capabilities across forging, precision machining, special processes, surface treatment and assembly. The release states the agreements strengthen the role of the Belagavi Aerospace Cluster as an integrated manufacturing base serving global aerospace supply chains, and that this capability base will be further expanded with the upcoming Aequs Engine Components Ecosystem (AECE) in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, where manufacture of all medium and large parts will be taken up.

Related earlier agreement

The release notes that the 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. That wheels agreement is described as Aequs' first serial production agreement extending beyond 15 years, through 2042, and will see complete aircraft wheels manufactured entirely in India, from Indian-sourced aluminum to final assembly and testing, creating 100% in-country manufacturing value addition. The relationship with Safran is stated to span more than a decade and to extend across multiple Safran businesses.
