Indian Supplier Base Expansion Tied to Rising Engine Deliveries
GE Aerospace plans to nearly double its annual spending on Indian suppliers to approximately $400 million by 2030, up from around $200 million in 2025. The company is preparing for rising aircraft demand and expanding maintenance requirements in India, with expectations to deliver more than 3,200 additional engines to Indian customers over the next nine to 10 years. According to a report by Ernst & Young, India and South Asia will require 3,300 additional aircraft by 2044, with GE Aerospace and its partners expected to power most of the new aircraft already on order with Indian carriers.
