Bengaluru-based DheyaTech raised ₹43 crore in equity funding.
The investment round was anchored by Avaana Capital alongside Unimech Aerospace and Manufacturing.
Fresh capital will support scaling production and building a comprehensive internal testing facility.
The firm plans to accelerate client rollouts across its propulsion and power generation product lines.
Engine testing in the air is slated for Q4 2026 during upcoming flight trials.
The business has gathered confirmed purchase contracts from equipment manufacturers both in India and abroad.

India has traditionally depended on overseas vendors for micro gas turbines.
Fewer than a dozen countries worldwide maintain home-grown capability to build small gas turbines.
DheyaTech is the earliest private local business to seek stand-alone military flight-readiness clearance through CEMILAC-DRDO.

DheyaTech designs micro gas turbines with thrust spanning 20 kgf to 400 kgf.
Its product portfolio supports fuel-flexible configurations and hydrogen-powered energy generation.
The startup engineered a 60-kW hydrogen flex-fuel micro turbogenerator alongside the Indian Institute of Science.
It makes a specialized hydrogen anode blower that carries European safety approval for explosive conditions.
The internal technical crew handles end-to-end design, component production, assembly, and evaluation.
Quality systems at the enterprise meet AS9100D aerospace standards and ISO 9001:2015 specifications.
