Chennai-based aerospace startup The ePlane Firm has introduced a collection of strategic partnerships on the Farnborough Worldwide Airshow within the UK, masking key elements of the availability chain for its e200X electrical plane.

The bulletins got here shortly after the startup unveiled PT-01, its first full scale prototype, and canopy 5 separate areas together with wiring methods, fasteners, avionics, composite supplies, and cabin interiors.

The ePlane Firm was based in 2019 and incubated at IIT Madras. The startup is headquartered on the IIT Madras Discovery Campus in Chennai and operates India’s first devoted facility for eVTOL prototyping, manufacturing, and testing, unfold throughout greater than 60,000 sq. toes.

Notably, it’s the first personal aerospace firm in India to obtain Design Organisation Approval from the DGCA for electrical plane, and its e200X is the primary eVTOL to be accepted into the DGCA’s official sort certification pipeline.

Wiring methods

ePlane has signed an MoU with SASMOS HET Applied sciences to work on electrical wiring interconnection methods for the e200X.

The collaboration is predicted to cowl harness structure, design for manufacturability, prototype analysis, and certification readiness, with plans to maneuver towards a extra definitive settlement because the work progresses.

The 2 corporations can even discover mission vital electronics resembling overhead circuit breaker panels and excessive voltage energy distribution models.

SASMOS operates throughout India, the UK, the US, the Netherlands, and Morocco. It specialises in excessive reliability interconnection methods and electromechanical assemblies for aerospace and defence programmes.

Fasteners

Ankit Aerospace Personal Restricted will provide aerospace grade fasteners for the e200X, the precision parts that maintain the plane’s construction collectively and hold vital joints protected underneath flight masses.

Ankit Aerospace has over 4 many years of producing expertise and already provides fastening parts to ISRO, HAL, NAL, and DRDO.

Avionics

ePlane additionally reaffirmed its current partnership with HENSOLDT Avionics, first introduced in February 2026.

Below the partnership, HENSOLDT continues to produce its avionics suite and flight radar system for the e200X, supporting navigation, situational consciousness, and connectivity necessities because the plane strikes towards certification.

HENSOLDT Avionics is a part of the HENSOLDT Group, a serious participant within the European defence business.

Composite Supplies

Azista Composites Personal Restricted will provide composite supplies together with carbon fibre prepregs and glass prepregs for the plane’s airframe and radome.

The corporate’s potential to configure materials specs to ePlane’s actual necessities, backed by brief lead instances, was cited as a key issue within the partnership.

Azista Composites works throughout aerospace, defence, house, and mobility purposes and controls its whole worth chain from resin formulation to completed composite elements.

Cabin Interiors

AMS Heli Design will work with ePlane on modular inside and seating options able to supporting a number of mission configurations for the e200X, together with air ambulance, air taxi, cargo, and VIP use.

This matches into ePlane’s broader aim of constructing a single airframe that may serve all of those roles.

AMS Heli Design, which was based in 2015 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, specialises in light-weight, modular EMS and VIP helicopter interiors which might be FAA and EASA licensed, with merchandise already in use with operators together with SAF Hélicoptères in France and South Africa’s Pink Cross Air Mercy Service.

“These partnerships mirror the energy and depth of the ecosystem we’re constructing across the e200X. From wiring and fasteners to avionics, composites, and interiors, every of those relationships strengthens our path towards a certifiable, Made-in-India electrical plane,” stated Prof. Satya Chakravarthy, Founder & CTO of The ePlane Firm.
