BonV Aero has been named a winner at the MSME Ratna Awards 2025 by the Chamber of Indian Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (CIMSME), recognising its contribution to drone technology and aerospace innovation. The award was presented at an industry gathering attended by policymakers and banking leaders, following evaluation by a jury comprising former heads of public sector banks and members of the judiciary.

The MSME Ratna Awards track the progress of small businesses and startups supporting India’s industrial and manufacturing goals. BonV Aero, which develops heavy-lift electric aerial vehicles, was recognised for demonstrating technical scalability and operational resilience in the aerospace sector.

Speaking at the event, Piyush Goyal highlighted the role of MSMEs in achieving the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047. BonV Aero Chief Executive Satyabrata Satapathy said the recognition validates the company’s focus on electric cargo platforms designed for challenging geographies with limited ground infrastructure.

The award adds to BonV Aero’s growing list of industry honours, including recognition from the Society of Indian Defense Manufacturers, as the company advances towards commercial deployment in logistics and defence supply chains.
