Bikar will now be able to serve the aerospace production facilities in India’s aerospace triangle, which consists of Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Belagavi. By the first quarter of 2024, the company hopes to have the new facility completely operating.
With more than 30 industrial units and a prime location, BAC, run by Aequs Infrastructure, offers an ideal setting for Bikar’s operations.

BAC hosts a vertically integrated manufacturing ecosystem with co-located capabilities that deliver an end-to-end manufacturing value stream. Bikar’s choice of the BAC bears testimony to its success and utility to global Aerospace OEMs for quality services ranging from raw materials to globally approved capabilities offered by manufacturing units within the cluster”.
