SiriNor, a deeptech aerospace startup with operations in India and Norway, has successfully completed an on-ground test of the world's first all-electric jet engine in Pune. This groundbreaking achievement, reaching Technology Readiness Level 6 (TRL-6), demonstrated the engine's capability to deliver high performance and scalability required for commercial use. The engine, exceeding design targets with over 40,000 RPM and 10 kgf of thrust, is power-agnostic, compatible with both batteries and hydrogen fuel cells. This feature positions SiriNor to tap into a jet engine market projected to exceed USD 100 billion by 2030, addressing the increasing scrutiny on aviation emissions and costs. SiriNor's phased commercialization strategy involves integrating the electric jet engine with UAVs by mid-2026, expanding to seaplanes and ground-effect vehicles by 2027, and scaling up to regional and civil aircraft by 2030. This approach allows the company to validate its technology, gain operational experience, and accelerate adoption starting from drones and moving towards mainstream zero-emission flight in the aviation sector. The engine design not only cuts manufacturing costs by 30% and reduces maintenance by 40% but also offers flexibility for adoption, retrofitting, and operation, presenting a significant advancement in the industry. The company has attracted early-stage investments from Shell E4, DCM Shriram, and other investors, exceeding a valuation of USD 20 million. With plans to raise an additional USD 5 million in 2025, SiriNor is gearing up for accelerated commercialization. The electric jet engine has already garnered interest with seven Letters of Intent signed with global partners in various sectors. By aligning with India's push for sustainable aviation, SiriNor's groundbreaking technology could potentially disrupt the jet engine market and pave the way for emission-free aviation.
