Aerospace company Boeing Thursday held discussions with its partners, Mahindra Defence Systems (MDS) and Hindustan Aeronautics LimitedNSE 0.57 % (HAL), on the proposed F/A-18 Super Hornet ‘Make in India’ plan.
The partners are developing comprehensive plans to set-up a new ‘factory of the future’ to manufacture Super Hornet locally, Boeing said after the discussions at the Aero India air show at the Yelahanka air base here.
The program is expected to work with several Indian suppliers to grow a thriving defense aerospace base which could accelerate other programs, a company statement said.
The facility will create a world-class, highly trained aerospace workforce, it said.
