Embraer is looking to expand its manufacturing and sourcing footprint in India, with plans to bring more Indian companies into its global aerospace supply chain. The company is exploring opportunities across various sectors, including aerostructures and aircraft assembly, and has partnered with Adani Defence & Aerospace to set up a final assembly line for the E175 regional jet. Several Indian companies, such as Hindalco Industries and Bharat Forge, are already part of Embraer’s supply chain.
