India ready to give new energy to global aviation market: PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday lauded the strides made by India in aviation and aerospace and the growing role of women in the sector, while asserting that the country will spur the global aviation market.
In his address after inaugurating aircraft maker Boeing’s new global engineering and technology centre campus near here, he said women were leading in the aviation and aerospace sector, be it fighter or civil aircraft.
They constituted about 15 per cent of the total pilots in India, which was three times the global average.
The time for women-led development has come, Modi said.
