Balu Forge and Swan Energy Form Partnership for Aerospace and Defense Ventures

Balu Forge Industries Ltd. (BFIL) and Swan Energy Limited (SEL) have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) focused on the aerospace, defense, and railway sectors. The SPV aims to leverage the companies' combined expertise to deliver products and solutions to heavy industries, including nuclear applications.

According to the agreement, Balu Forge will contribute 40% of the SPV’s initial equity, while Swan Energy will hold the remaining 60%. The SPV is expected to target global demand in the aerospace, defense, and railways sectors, as outlined in a company statement.

Trimaan Chandock, Executive Director of Balu Forge, noted that operational efficiencies and supply chain flexibility would support future growth, though no specific project details were disclosed.

Financial performance for the quarter ending September showed contrasting results for the two firms. Balu Forge reported a consolidated profit after tax of ₹48.1 crore, up from ₹23.27 crore a year earlier, driven by a 60.1% revenue increase to ₹222.8 crore. Conversely, Swan Energy’s consolidated net profit fell by 39.38% to ₹51.27 crore, with revenues decreasing 15.61% to ₹1,032.19 crore during the same period.

This partnership reflects both companies' strategic moves to strengthen their presence in high-demand, technology-driven industries.
