Bharat Forge's aircraft lands in Pune the day of RS Aerostructures acquisition filing

Bharat Forge's Bombardier Global Express XRS (tail VT-SDK) was tracked departing Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai at 16:21 UTC on June 24, 2026, and arriving at Pune International Airport 47 minutes later, having reached a maximum altitude of 11,025 feet.

If Bharat Forge was aboard, the arrival comes on the same day the company filed with stock exchanges confirming the completion of its 90% acquisition of RS Aerostructures Limited, a step-down subsidiary of the Pune-based engineering conglomerate, according to a regulatory filing covered by [PSU Connect](https://www.psuconnect.in/corporate-news/bharat-forge-completes-90-acquisition-of-rs-aerostructures-to-expand-aerospace-business). The timing would suggest a return to headquarters following the formal closure of the deal.

The flight also follows a busy stretch for Bharat Forge, which secured a ₹425 crore contract to supply gas turbine generators to the Indian Navy on June 19, per [Trade Brains](https://tradebrains.in/large-cap-stock-jumps-after-securing-425-cr-contract-to-supply-gas-turbine-generators-to-indian-navy/), and unveiled its MArG series mounted artillery guns at Eurosatory 2026 earlier in the month, as reported by [Upstox](https://upstox.com/news/market-news/stocks/bharat-forge-shares-soar-over-4-as-its-defence-arm-unveils-m-ar-g-series-mounted-artillery-guns-at-eurosatory-2026/article-195344/). With no prior flights on file, this appears to be a routine but strategically timed move between Mumbai and the company's home base.
