Make Bharat a global aviation manufacturing and MRO hub

Bharatiya Janata Party · Lok Sabha General Election 2024

Last updated 4 Jun 2026

We will bring a commercial aircraft manufacturing ecosystem to Bharat. For this we will design a Policy for Aerospace Manufacturing in the country and try to develop our own passenger aircraft. We will strengthen the civil aviation ecosystem by encouraging Maintenance, Repairs and Overhaul (MRO) activities as well as Aircraft Financing and Leasing Activities institutions through comprehensive government support programs under the Make in India initiative.

Our Assessment

medium

Aerospace manufacturing and MRO are being built up: India’s first private-sector final-assembly line for complete aircraft (the C-295 transport aircraft, Tata-Airbus) was inaugurated at Vadodara, MRO has been incentivised through GST rationalisation (uniform 5 per cent on MRO services and parts), longer storage/lease norms and a target to grow the MRO market, and aircraft financing and leasing are being promoted through GIFT City IFSC. However, the development of an indigenous commercial passenger aircraft remains at an early/aspirational stage. Partial.
