Piyush Goyal Talks Aircraft Manufacturing in India with Lockheed Martin.

Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal met with a delegation from Lockheed Martin on Monday to explore opportunities for aircraft manufacturing in India. The delegation was led by Michael Williamson, President of Lockheed Martin International.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Goyal highlighted the discussions, stating that the talks were aimed at strengthening the 'Make in India' initiative within the aerospace and defence sectors.

The meeting underscored India's potential as a manufacturing hub for cutting-edge aircraft, furthering the country’s goals in self-reliance and defense sector growth. The collaboration with Lockheed Martin could pave the way for enhanced technology transfer and job creation in India’s aviation and defense industries.

This move aligns with India’s broader ambition to boost indigenous production of military and commercial aircraft while fostering international partnerships in aerospace technology.
