India’s MRO and Aerospace Sectors Take Off Amid Strategic Collaborations and Growing Demand
India's MRO and aerospace sectors are witnessing rapid growth, with the MRO industry projected to exceed ₹4,500 crore by FY26, driven by a 20–25% fleet expansion. Key developments include Safran-HAL's partnership for LEAP engine parts and Bharat Forge's collaboration with Liebherr-Aerospace to set up a precision manufacturing plant in Pune. These global tie-ups bring advanced technologies, while policy support like GST reduction boosts competitiveness. The result is stronger profitability, expanded infrastructure, and increased self-reliance. Together, these factors position India as a rising global hub for both civil and defence aviation maintenance, manufacturing, and skilled job creation.
