These contracts are a part of Airbus’ make-in-India initiative to boost the country eco-system in component manufacturing like sheet metal, machining and extrusion profiles.
As a part of the contract, the four companies will supply airframe and wing parts for Airbus A320neo, A330neo and A350s. With such contracts Airbus plans to ramp-up of commercial aircraft programmes globally along with strengthening the capability and capacity in the aviation ecosystem of India.
