Dhruva Space to Construct 2.8 Lakh Sq Ft Satellite Infrastructure Facility in Hyderabad

Hyderabad, India – Dhruva Space Pvt Ltd, an Indian private aerospace manufacturer, has unveiled plans to construct a cutting-edge satellite infrastructure manufacturing facility in Hyderabad. This facility will encompass 2.8 lakh sq ft and is poised to play a vital role in the assembly, integration, and testing (AIT) of large-scale satellite equipment.

The company specializes in the production of comprehensive satellite infrastructure, covering a range of components including solar panels, satellite software, communication systems, and satellite deployers. These items can be acquired as an integrated solution or individually, offering versatile options to support a variety of space-based applications.

Established in 2012, the company has already embarked on two satellite test-launches, deploying its payloads on ISRO’s PSLV-C55 mission. This innovative startup is continually exploring ways to contribute to the growing small satellite market and has its sights set on pioneering indigenous space-grade solar arrays.

The upcoming AIT facility will be situated within the TSIIC Hardware Park II, strategically located in Shamshabad on the outskirts of Hyderabad. The facility will focus on manufacturing satellite platforms, subsystems, satellite orbital deployers, ground station equipment, and more. On a 6.5-acre land provided by the Telangana Government, the startup expects to finish the first phase of construction in 1.5 to 2 years. Initially, a 1.5 sq ft plant will house a 20,000 sq ft solar array assembly line.

Furthermore, Dhruva Space is actively engaged in discussions with prominent global OEM players. These conversations revolve around the potential for leveraging this new infrastructure to meet their global supply requirements and bolstering their capacity to address the growing demand for satellite technology.
