Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu highlights
Airbus’ confidence in Indian aircraft component manufacturing.
Civil
Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu on Wednesday (9 April ’25) said global
players like Airbus have shown confidence in the potential of Indian industry
in the field of aircraft component manufacturing. Minister Naidu was speaking
at an event in New Delhi to mark the signing ceremony for the H130 helicopter
fuselage manufacturing contract between Airbus and Mahindra Aerostructures.
The H130 is an intermediate
single-engine helicopter tailored for passenger transport, tourism and private
and business aviation, as well as medical airlift and surveillance missions. In his address, Naidu stated, “I think this
contract for the manufacturing and assembly of the H130 helicopter fuselage is
a testament to the confidence global players like Airbus have in the potential
of Indian industry... And today, we are setting a new benchmark for aircraft
component manufacturing.”
Besides, the minister
acknowledged the exemplary contribution of Indian MSMEs (Micro, Small, and
Medium Enterprises) and start-ups, which supply over $2 billion worth of
aircraft components annually to global OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers)
like Airbus and Boeing.
The event assumes significance
since it builds on the momentum from a February 2025 meeting chaired by the
minister, focusing on accelerating aircraft component manufacturing in India.According to Vumlunmang Vualnam, Secretary,
Union Ministry of Civil Aviation, the H130 fuselage contract will not only
bring cutting-edge technologies and jobs to India but also catalyse the
development of domestic MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operation) capabilities
and a robust manufacturing base. On its part, Airbus said that India is both a
major market and a strategic resource hub. The aerospace major cited that every
Airbus commercial aircraft has components and technologies made in India.
Currently, Airbus’ annual
procurement of components and services from India stands at $1.4 billion.
