Snapshot

• Why Bengaluru (Peenya) is iconic:
  Bengaluru, India’s “Silicon Valley”, is also its precision manufacturing and aerospace capital. The Peenya Industrial Area—Asia’s largest industrial suburb—houses over 5,000 engineering and manufacturing units, specializing in machine tools, precision parts, aerospace components, defence hardware, and heavy engineering equipment.
  
• Industrial edge: The cluster integrates machine tool design, robotics, additive manufacturing, and aerospace machining, catering to ISRO, HAL, DRDO, and global OEMs.
  
• Scale: Peenya and adjoining industrial zones form India’s largest engineering manufacturing ecosystem, combining Tier-1 suppliers, MSMEs, and global engineering giants.
