With India emerging as one of the fastest-growing aviation markets, GE Aerospace aims to strengthen its footprint by working closely with Indian partners to develop next-generation aerospace technologies. The company is also focused on sustainability and is investing in new technologies to support greener aviation solutions.
As part of its growth strategy, GE Aerospace is expected to scale up local sourcing, increase its supplier base, and explore new opportunities in digital and advanced manufacturing. The company’s long-term vision includes deeper collaborations with Indian stakeholders to enhance the country’s role in the global aerospace supply chain.
