Sansera Engineering wins ₹160 crore Airbus deal for airborne ICT modules
Sansera Engineering Limited has signed a major long-term agreement with Airbus Defence and Space, valued at ₹160 crore (approximately $18.8 million). The Bengaluru-based precision engineering company will manufacture, supply and support airborne Intensive Care Transport Modules (ICTM) for Airbus' light and medium transport aircraft programmes.
First Airbus ICTM contract awarded to an Indian supplier
The ICTM is a vital medical evacuation system designed for transporting patients, including those in intensive care, during emergencies and health crises. It is a key component in defence and humanitarian missions.
This is the first time Airbus has selected an Indian company to supply the ICTM kit, marking a significant milestone in both Sansera's global expansion and India's growing capabilities in aerospace manufacturing.
The agreement covers complete manufacturing, delivery and ongoing support for the ICTM units. Sansera will carry out precision machining and structural assembly.
It also marks the first formal partnership between Airbus and Sansera for such a specialised aerospace project in India.
S Sekhar Vasan, Chairman and Managing Director of Sansera Engineering, said, 'I am proud to announce that Sansera has been selected as the Indian supply chain partner for Airbus, a leading global aerospace and defence company. This strategic partnership positions us as their trusted supplier for the Airborne Intensive Care Transport Module for light and medium transport aircraft programmes, marking a significant milestone in our journey as a precision manufacturing leader.'
'This achievement reflects decades of excellence in innovation, automation and quality that have established Sansera as a trusted name in the global aerospace supply chain and defence industry. It also strengthens the Hon'ble Prime Minister's Make in India initiative by establishing advanced aerospace manufacturing capabilities in India and supports the country's journey towards self-reliance in critical defence and aerospace technologies,' he added.
In addition to aerospace and defence, Sansera Engineering is a key player in the automotive sector. The company manufactures essential components for engines, transmissions, braking systems, suspension and chassis across two-wheelers, passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles.
Sansera also supplies critical parts to the semiconductor manufacturing industry, further diversifying its presence across high-tech and precision-driven sectors.

Anil Ambani-owned Reliance Infrastructure share price dips 5% after THIS reply on 155mm artillery shells
Anil Ambani-owned Reliance Infrastructure's stock took a breather on Thursday after a sharp 11% gain in the last trading session, with the scrip declining 5% in intra-day deals today. Apart from profit taking following a sharp rally in recent months, Reliance Infra share price also came under pressure following its response to the exchange on the development of next-gen 155mm artillery shells by the company. The stock exchange BSE had sought a clarification from Reliance Infrastructure on Wednesday about an article in Business Today, titled "Reliance Infra becomes first private Indian firm to develop next-gen 155mm artillery shells". In its response, the Anil Ambani-owned group stock said that it has a number of defence SPVs that are engaged in various businesses, including one SPV which is in the process of developing ammunition with the DRDO project of the Government of India. "The activities are routine in nature as per the objectives of the company. There were no negotiations as per our knowledge and information," the company said. Furthermore, it added that the development of ammunition by a subsidiary company is in the normal course of business and is not a disclosable event. Reliance Infra also said that as on date, there was no order from the Indian Army for ammunition under development. Meanwhile, in a major relief for Reliance Infra, National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) on Wednesday stayed insolvency proceedings against the company that were initiated by IDBI Trusteeship Services Ltd over an alleged default of ₹ 88 crore. The ADAG stock Reliance Infrastructure declined as much as 4.8% in intra-day trade on Thursday. It hit the day's low of ₹ 362. However, this fall is a small dent in the massive rally the Reliance Infrastructure share price has seen recently. The BSE Smallcap stock is up 17% in a week and 68% in three months. In 2025 so far, Reliance Infra share has added 15.60% while it has emerged as a multibagger stock over a year, rallying 146%. As of 3.20 pm, Reliance Infrastructure share price was at ₹ 373.80, down 1.75%. Disclaimer: This story is for educational purposes only.

China's Didi Q1 revenue rises 8.5% as recovery gains pace
Chinese ride-hailing company Didi Global reported an 8.5% rise in revenue in the first quarter of 2025 to 53.3 billion yuan ($7.42 billion) on Thursday, as its recovery from a regulatory overhaul of its operations gathered pace. The Beijing-based company reported net income of 2.4 billion yuan for the quarter, versus a loss of 1.4 billion yuan a year earlier, after adopting new accounting standards. Didi drew the attention of China's cyberspace regulator in 2021 over its pursuit of a US initial public offering without approval, prompting an inquiry that prohibited it from adding users and saw many of its apps removed from stores. The regulator fined Didi $1.2 billion in July 2022 over a data security violation, before granting the company permission to relaunch its apps in early 2023. The company was delisted from the U.S. in 2022. Live Events
