Crown Defence has inaugurated an indigenous printed circuit board (PCB) assembly facility at Verna, Goa, to enhance domestic capabilities in high-reliability electronics for defence platforms and select civil applications.

Set up under the Group’s aviation vertical, Aviatech Enterprises (AEPL), the facility is designed to support mission-critical electronics across aviation, maritime, and land systems. It is expected to begin operations in March 2026 and will cater to both domestic and international programmes. The facility will offer high-precision PCB assembly solutions, supporting board sizes from 80×80 mm to 460×460 mm, with thickness ranging from 0.4 mm to 8 mm. It is built to meet the stringent reliability and traceability standards required for strategic programmes.

This move aims to address the increasing demand for domestic PCBA solutions, with PCBA  segment in India expected to reach USD 6.3 billion, growing at a 16 percent CAGR. The new capability complements Crown Defence's existing services in defence and industrial sectors.
