Raymond, the company Indians know for suiting, is reportedly set to rename itself Raymond Aerospace, Defence & Engineering Limited. The pivot is real: it now focuses on engineering businesses and plans about ₹1,000 crore of investment in Andhra Pradesh. I could not confirm the final name change.
A Very Different Raymond
A post on X called the new name breaking news. What I could verify is the shift behind it. After separating its lifestyle and real estate businesses, the listed company is now built around aerospace, defence, precision engineering and auto components.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Investment plan | About ₹1,000 crore over five years |
| Aerospace plant | ₹510 crore, Sri Satya Sai district (JK Maini Global Aerospace) |
| Auto components plant | ₹430 crore, Gudipalli (JK Maini Precision Technology) |
| Jobs | Roughly 1,400 plus 4,096, so over 5,000 |
| Production start | Targeted around May 2027 for state incentives |
| Aerospace revenue, Q1 FY27 | ₹123 crore, up 40% year on year |
| Order book | About ₹5,960 crore |
