Aircraft Components Manufacturing and Repairs - India's New Gold Mine? 🚀🌏 The final session of the MRO South Asia Summit 2025 explored the exciting potential for India to emerge as a global hub for aircraft component manufacturing and repairs. As geopolitical challenges continue to shape the global supply chain, India is presented with a unique opportunity to step forward in indigenizing the production of critical aviation components. Key insights shared by our esteemed panelists: Mr. Paul Belisle, General Manager, Turbine Kinetics - HEICO, “We are sourcing parts from India to the US, and we are excited to announce that Heico is set to establish new capabilities in Bengaluru in the coming years. This growing partnership highlights India’s potential to be a key player in the global aerospace supply chain.” Mr. Dipesh Mathur, President, Stellar Aviation Solutions Solution: “The majority of aircraft maintenance focuses on engine and component maintenance, with only 10% on airframe. We’ve been using this strategy effectively for our business.” Mr. Suresh Rahangdale, Co-Founder & Director, RSR AVIATION SERVICES PVT LTD: “We’ve started manufacturing products like paints locally in India, though we are still lacking testing facilities. However, we are making significant strides. The focus on ‘Make in India’ is driving us forward. We see the opportunity to build a robust manufacturing ecosystem for critical components.” Air Cmde S. Rajesh, Department of Indigenization, Indian Air Force: “Geopolitical issues, including the Russia- Ukraine conflict and the situation in Israel, are making it harder for us to acquire spare parts. This creates a big opportunity for India to lead in component manufacturing.” A big thank you to our panelists for sharing their insights and to our moderator, Col KV Kuber, Indian Army Veteran and Director of Aerospace & Defence at Ernst & Young LLP, for guiding this crucial discussion on the future of India’s aerospace and defence manufacturing. India’s potential as a global leader in aircraft component manufacturing is on the rise, and the future looks bright! 🌟✈️ #MRO2025 #MakeInIndia #AviationManufacturing #Indigenization #AerospaceInnovation #GlobalSupplyChain"
