The defence manufacturing industry is being disrupted with strict compliance, complex supply chains, and rapidly evolving global innovation demands. With advances in technology, especially in propulsion systems of drones and unmanned platforms, there is a dire need to ensure intellectual property protection, sustainable activities, and shorter lead times in order to remain globally competitve.
Such challenges require rapid solutions that are reliable, scalable, and environmentally friendly without modification to the particular requirements of end-users in the defence sector.

DG Propulsion handles these challenges by providing customized jet turbine engines to drones, hover bikes, smoke generators and jet suits which are resilient and of top-notch quality standards.
The company provides its flagship 40 kg and 100 kg thrust engines covering the crucial gaps in loitering munitions and ISR drones while complying with defence standards, with strong collaboration with the certifying agencies. By adopting an approach of sustainability and integrating user feedback, the firm is in a robust position to influence the defence ecosystem in India and other global markets.
Pioneering Jet Turbine Engine Manufacturing in India
DG Propulsion, which was established in 2019 by Chirag Gupta and Prateek Dhawan, is transforming the defence equipment manufacturing industry in India. By laying specific emphasis on research & development and capacity to serially manufacture, the company provides innovative offerings in an array of applications with a vision of addressing those gaps to fill the critical gaps in the propulsion systems.
The services of the company focus on high speed production and delivery, which cuts the lead times significantly with mass production of components. “By strategically producing key components, leveraging a robust supply chain, and deploying state-of-the-art manufacturing, we’ve reduced delivery timelines from months to under a week, ensuring faster supply to platform integrators and end users”, says Chirag Gupta, Co-Founder & COO, DG Propulsion. The company further ensures that the engines are perfectly compatible and in harmony with airframe manufacturers and are reliable and high performance propulsion systems.
DG Propulsion maintains a high standard of requirements of the defense industry and works closely with certifying authorities such as CEMILAC and DGAQA to comply and be reliable. Its quality control regulation is comparable to the demands of the armed forces with uses of high-tech materials and stabilized production chains to support accuracy and longevity. The company also believes in protecting its intellectual property with a robust legal system and collaborates exclusively with Indian manufacturers to protect proprietary technology.
Scaling Thrust, Expanding Global Footprint
DG Propulsion is planning an aggressive growth path towards capacity building and the ability to transform lives across India and the world. With this, the company is aiming to build engines with thrust capacities of 200 kg and 350 kg. This development seeks to fulfill the current demands of contemporary warfare, where drones need greater range, faster deliveries, and multi-functionality.
Further into the future, the company envisions its expansion into the manned aircraft sector, creating propulsion systems on larger, more complicated projects. Such a strategic move will make the company one of the major players in the worldwide aerospace and defence sector. With strong supply chains, superior materials, and quality assurance control in line with the defence requirements, the company intends to ensure that its products satisfy the high requirements of the end users.
The company is also concerned about sustainability, as it aims to install the manufacturing plants with solar power, use environmentally friendly fuel, and implement green initiatives beyond the premises. DG Propulsion aims to establish itself as a leader in propulsion technology by aligning with the Indian government's Make in India initiative and fostering innovation through indigenous manufacturing. Simultaneously, it is expanding into global markets, positioning its cutting-edge engines as integral to both defence applications and educational outreach programs.
