Indian government plans to make the country a hub for aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul
India was recently linked to the Boeing 737 Max software fleet controversy.
The government has proposed to hike FDI limit in domestic air carriers from the existing 49%
A day after the Union Budget 2019 outlined plans for developing India as a hub for aircraft repair and maintenance, NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant, in a tweet highlighted how a top global aircraft manufacturer now sources major ingredients for its jets from India under its ‘Make In India’ partnerships.
“Every commercial Airbus aircraft being produced today has a major ingredient of “Make in India”. Airbus has more than 45 Indian suppliers in the supply chain and uses Indian talent for design, engineering and research,” Kant tweeted.
