Is India's Aerospace industry finally taking off?

Policy push and rising quality are helping suppliers move from simple parts to ready-to-install assemblies.

The opportunity is big; the to-dos are clear: make more materials locally, train more skilled people, build key process capacity, and deliver on time.

Let's dive deeper to find out what's driving the industry There are multiple players in the value chain starting from big airframe and engine parts (Tata Advanced Systems, Dynamatic, Azad, Aequs, Unimech, Raymond/Maini, Bharat Forge, Godrej). Global giants ~ Airbus, Boeing, Safran, GE, Rolls-Royce are buying more from India as our airlines place record orders, and maintenance hubs at home (AIESL, Air Works–Adani, GMR, Tata–Air India) are replacing expensive trips abroad.

India's space sector is blasting off, and it's not just ISRO anymore!

🚀 A silent revolution is underway, with private players and startups driving innovation across the entire value chain.

Get ready for a deep dive into how policy tailwinds are turning a government program into a growth runway! Born from Sarabhai’s humble experiments, India’s space programme is now wide open to private ambition.

With IN‑SPACe enabling, NSIL commercialising, and startups building everything from 3D‑printed engines to EO constellations, policy tailwinds have turned a government programme into a growth runway.

Lets deep dive into this interesting yet relatively lesser explored sector.

In Terminator 2, a T-800 cyborg said “I’ll be back.”

Well, humanoid robots are here – but the time-traveling murder spree seems to be a far -fetched reality. What was once sci-fi is now serious R&D.

Elon Musk even claims Tesla’s new humanoid ‘Optimus’ will be “worth more than the car business”. From lab prototypes to factory floors, 2025 is starting to feel like the dawn of the robot revolution.

So Let’s Dive in 👇

Disclaimer - No, Skynet isn’t online… yet. First let’s clear up the difference between Robots and Humanoids

Robots come in all shapes – factory arms welding cars, Roombas cleaning floors, drones flying overhead.

Humanoids, though, are robots that look and move like us. Think two legs, two arms, hands, and a “brain.” They’re basically androids designed to navigate a world built for humans
Picture Chitti from Robot – that’s a humanoid. A Roomba or an industrial robot arm? Cool, but not humanoid.

India’s liquor market looks simple—sell more bottles, bank the cash.

But beneath every peg lies a lot of variables that drives the revenue growth + margin expansion and a re rating cycle in Alcohol Beverage players in India

Here is a 9 block checklist to analyse Alcobev companies in India👇 1. Market & Demand

Did you know? India is home to over 1,700 Global Capability Centres (GCCs) that have evolved far beyond back-office support.

Today, they are innovation hubs where cutting-edge R&D and global product development for many of the world's largest companies happen.

Let's dive deeper into why GCC is on a rise and how world's biggest companies in India are doubling down on this trend in India👇 1/n
What is a GCC?

A Global Capability Center (GCC) is an offshore unit set up by a multinational company to manage strategic functions like engineering, R&D, finance, analytics, and cybersecurity directly, not through third-party vendors.

These are not BPOs. They are in-house global hubs.

Think:
--Microsoft India building Copilot features,
--J.P. Morgan India driving AI-based fraud analytics,
--Walmart Global Tech India working on next-gen retail tech.

From 10,000 to nearly 1,00,000 smart meter installs per day —

India’s power sector is electrifying at scale. Let’s deep dive into this massive opportunity ⚡🧵👇 1/n
Let's understand what is the TAM for smart meters currently

With approximately 3 crore smart meters already installed, a significant opportunity valued at ₹60,000 crores exists for the remaining 23 crore installations. This substantial gap indicates a vast growth runway for industry participants.

The government's website, nsgm.gov.in/en/sm-stats-all, confirms that 30 million smart meters have been installed, providing a live tracker for the implementation of smart meters across India, which aims for a total of 25 to 30 crore installations. This suggests that the "smart meter story" is actively being executed.

A single AI query can use up to 10 X more electricity than a regular Google search.

But why does AI consume so much power? And more importantly, how can we, as investors, turn this rising demand into a compelling opportunity?

Let’s break it down 👇 1/n
The AI power shock -

> An AI query, such as one posed to a large language model (LLM) like ChatGPT, consumes approximately 2.9 Watt-hours (Wh), or 0.0029 kWh, of electricity.

> This figure is nearly ten times the 0.3 Wh (0.0003 kWh) required for a traditional Google search. That’s the same electricity a light-bulb needs for ~20 minutes.Multiply by hundreds of millions of daily prompts and you get a brand-new industrial load—born in the cloud.

> Energy experts warn this surge could soon rival the demand of mid-size nations.

> John Hennessy, the chairman of Google's parent company, Alphabet, has publicly stated ( Reuters interview) that an exchange with an AI chatbot is likely to be ten times more energy-intensive than a standard keyword search.

Welcome to the world of AI-led power demand.

Did you know?
1 in every 5 iPhones sold globally is now made in India!

But when did this major supply chain shift begin—and how quickly is it accelerating?

Let’s break it down in this thread:
How fast is Apple moving its supply chain to India?👇
#MakeInIndia 1/n
The 20 % milestone

> One in every five iPhones sold worldwide now sports a “Made-in-India” label.

> Bloomberg data show India’s share of global iPhone output hitting 20 % in April 2025, up from ~3 % in FY-22—a six-fold relocation in just three years.

> Because total iPhone volume stayed flat, the entire gain is pure supply-chain migration.

> That shift injected US $10 bn+ of value-add into Indian factories in FY-24 alone and is compounding monthly.

> Analysts following Apple’s purchase orders expect 25-30 % of all iPhones to be India-made by December 2025.

3 Key Learnings about the Solar Industry from a visit to a Renewables Exhibition ☀️

We recently visited the Renewables Exhibition in Noida. We had three distinct observations post meeting the industry participants there: 1) Massive Oversupply

A massive oversupply is going to come in Solar Modules two years down the line. There is an Anti-Dumping Duty of 40%+ on import of solar modules, this has led to a lot of domestic production.

In the next 2 years, the industry will cross 100 GW of production capacity; out of which 60% can be produced. The annual demand in India is 40 GW, industry participants are betting that the rest can be exported.

Decoding the Sovereign Gold Bond Saga: A Comprehensive Thread on India's Gold Investment Evolution🪙

Launched in 2015 by the Government of India, the Sovereign Gold Bond (SGB) scheme provides a novel way for investors to own gold without the hassle of physical possession. The scheme aims to channelize idle gold into productive avenues and reduce the dependency on physical gold. #sgb

If you're looking for a comprehensive comparison of various gold investments (GOLD ETFs vs PHYSICAL GOLD vs SGB) before delving into this detailed thread on Sovereign Gold Bonds, you can check out the previous post on - GOLD INVESTMENT OPTIONS () Let’s unroll the thread 🧵🧵

🌟 Key Features of SGB:⭐

1. Issued by RBI for the Government of India :
SGBs are issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on behalf of the Government of India, ensuring credibility and government backing.

2. Denominated in Grams, Flexible Investment :
SGBs are denominated in grams of gold, allowing investors to start with a minimum investment of 1 gram and go up to a maximum of 4 kg per fiscal year for individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs).

3. Fixed Interest Rate - 2.5% Per Annum 📈:
SGBs carry a fixed annual interest rate of 2.5%, payable semi-annually on the nominal value of the bond. Taxable as the slab rate of individuals.

4. Maturity and Exit Options 📅:
SGBs have a maturity period of 8 years, but investors can opt to exit after the fifth year on the interest payment dates.

5. Secondary Market Trading and Loan Collateral :
SGBs can be traded in the secondary market through stock exchanges, providing liquidity. Additionally, they can be used as collateral for loans, offering a unique dimension to their utility.

Let's dive into the performance of SGB (Sovereign Gold Bonds) over the years! 📈 The inaugural SGB came into existence in 2015, reaching maturity in 2023, completing a 8-year cycle. 🎉

When it was first issued in 2015, the rate stood at ₹2684/1gm. Fast forward to November 2023, and the issue rate had climbed to ₹6199/1gm. As an illustrative example, let's consider a gold purchase of 5 grams, equivalent to an investment of ₹13,420 at the time of the initial issue. Fast forward to the present, and with the current issue rate, that same 5 grams of gold is now valued at ₹30,995.0. 💰

Now we will calculate XIRR for the whole 8 yrs and surprising revelation as we calculate the for 8-year period, considering the semi-annual interest of 2.5%( which was ₹167.75 every 6 months) 🔄. See Below ⬇️⬇️

The XIRR for this period comes out to be 12.81%! ✨

Idea of buying a strong business in temporary downturn

Form is temporary and class is permanent as the saying goes. Not all Quarters can be good in the journey of a company. Over a period of time though a complete picture emerges. Long term performances- 3 years and 5 years depict this.

One of the ideal times is to invest in a good company when it is going through temporary problems. Eg:- One of the agrochemical companies went through a severe downturn in 2016-2018 due to consolidation of end customers.
