Skanda Aerospace Technology, a collaborative effort of Hyderabad-based Raghu Vamsi Machine Tools and U.S. firm Rave Gears, has opened an aerospace gear and gear boxes manufacturing facility in Hyderabad
Hyderabad-based Skanda Aerospace Technology has established an aerospace gear and gear boxes manufacturing facility here for catering to the defence and commercial aviation sectors.
The company, which is a collaborative effort of Hyderabad-based aerospace and defence component maker Raghu Vamsi Machine Tools and U.S. firm Rave Gears, has invested ₹75 crore on the first phase and plans to invest an additional ₹150 crore over next two-three years.
Industries and IT Secretary Jayesh Ranjan and Director of Aerospace and Defence of Telangana government P.A. Praveen participated in the inauguration of the facility, which the company said is the first of its kind in the country dedicated to crafting aerospace-standard gears. Rave Gears, which is a designer, manufacturer and system integrator of gears and precision drive trains catering to aerospace, defence, automotive and industrial customers globally, has committed to provide $9 million annual orders, Skanda Aerospace said in a release on Tuesday.
The number of employees at the new facility is projected to increase from the existing 150 to 1,000 over next three years.
“Skanda’s inauguration marks a significant step toward reinforcing India’s aerospace and defence capabilities. The facility holds the promise of playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of aerospace manufacturing, both within India and on the global stage,” Raghu Vamsi, managing director, Vamsi Vikas, said.
The focus will be high precision CNC and complex aerospace gear manufacturing. The new facility is equipped with world-class gear grinding machines, the company said.
Mr. Ranjan said “Skanda’s innovative approach to aerospace gear manufacturing aligns with India’s aspirations in the defence and aviation sectors. We eagerly anticipate witnessing the positive impact of this facility on both local and global aerospace industries.”

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
