The aerospace industry in India has witnessed rapid growth in recent years. The domestic aerospace industry can be broadly categorised under civil and military aviation. Out of these, civil aviation has grown in leaps and bounds within the country, largely because of the advent of certain low-cost airline companies recently. With more and more passengers, the civil aviation infrastructure requires newer aircraft and modernisation of existing facilities, thus working out to the aerospace industry’s advantage. On the other hand, the aerospace industry is also a major supplier of aircraft and related equipment to the military aviation segment in India, which is expanding at a fast pace. With its low labour costs and high level of IT-based technical skills among the working class, India is fast emerging as a major hub of design and engineering operations for the global aerospace industry.
