Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu recently highlighted the growing confidence of global aerospace companies in India’s aircraft component manufacturing capabilities, citing Airbus as a key example.

Speaking at an event in New Delhi, Naidu referred to the recent partnership between Airbus and Mahindra Aerostructures for the manufacturing of fuselages for the H130 helicopter. The ceremony marked the official signing of the contract between the two companies.
