01 · Opportunity backdrop

Two growth curves, converging over India

India's aircraft manufacturing ecosystem sits inside two converging growth curves — a commercial aviation market on track to become the world's third-largest, and a defence-driven manufacturing base being deliberately built at home.

Components & systems

USD 17.3B (2025) growing to USD 31.3B by 2034 across avionics, engines, landing gear and structures.

Fleet-driven demand

IndiGo alone holds one of the largest single-airline order backlogs in the world at ~1,000 aircraft; India's fleet crosses 1,800 by 2030.

Defence-driven demand

The IAF's 900+ aircraft fleet is being replaced by domestic/co-produced platforms, backed by 75% of the capital acquisition budget reserved for Indian industry.

Real capital, not just intent

Tata-Airbus's Vadodara line, Safran's Hyderabad LEAP MRO facility, IndiGo's Bengaluru MRO base and Adani-Embraer's E175 line are landing now.
