Defence ministry plans to rope in Indian Cos for care of western aircraft
As part of its ‘Make in India’ initiative, the defence ministry is now looking to engage the domestic industry to set up repair and overhaul facilities for Western aircraft.
According to an Economic Times report, the initiative from the defence ministry can help in increasing the availability of the platforms, while also creating significant job opportunities in the aerospace sector.
In order to rope in the companies, a capability assessment is ongoing, which will help in understanding the currently available infrastructure along with the future plans of Indian companies interested in setting up of repair and overhaul facilities.
