Hyderabad-based full-stack space company, Dhruva Space, shared the first look of its 2.80 lakh sq. ft. Assembly, Integration and Testing (AIT) facility for large-scale production of its various space products at the TSIIC Hardware Park II in Shamshabad on Saturday.
Situated on a 6.5-acre land allocated by the government, the facility will be completed in a multi-phase approach over a period of five years. The first phase comprises 1.50 lakh sq. ft., including a 20,000 sq. ft. solar array assembly line, set to be ready in the next 18 to 24 months, said an official release.
“We had been speaking about the AIT facility, but this site sends a message to the world that India is going to compete on the world stage for space business. Our country has a remarkable space history of more than 60 years, and we are happy to be building upon this,” said Chief Executive Officer Sanjay Nekkanti. He thanked the government for the land and necessary infrastructure.
