The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has chosen Abyom's Mobile Engine Testing Facility (METF) for commercialization and scaling up. The government agency is providing a grant to support the project.

Abyom's METF is the first mobile rocket engine testing facility in the Asia Pacific region. It is designed to test engines capable of measuring up to 50 kN thrust force for research and development purposes.

Abyom's mission is to democratize access to space technology. They plan to broaden the applications of their launch vehicles and services through the METF, sounding rockets, dual defence tech, and interplanetary transportation.
