Aerospace & Defence Facilitation Centre

Accelerating India's Defence Manufacturing Revolution

The FIMA Aerospace & Defence Facilitation Centre is a specialized hub designed to help MSMEs enter and excel in the defence manufacturing sector. We bridge the gap between ambitious manufacturers and the stringent requirements of defence procurement.

Our centre provides end-to-end support including technical guidance, testing facilities, quality certification assistance, and direct connections with Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs), OEMs, and international buyers.

With government partnerships, state-of-the-art testing infrastructure, and expert mentorship, we're enabling India's MSMEs to contribute meaningfully to the nation's indigenisation goals.
