Boeing has been a trusted partner of India’s aerospace sector for more than 80 years, both as the mainstay of India’s growing commercial aviation sector, and in the modernization and mission readiness of the country’s defence forces.
Boeing is focused on delivering value to Indian customers with advanced technologies and committed to creating sustainable value in the Indian aerospace sector – developing local suppliers, shaping academic and research collaborations with Indian institutions, and facilitating road maps for airspace management. Boeing’s business strategy is aligned with the country’s vision to “Make in India” and “Skill India,” through investments in manufacturing, coproduction, co-development, skill development, and innovation.
Today, Boeing’s sourcing from India stands at $1.25 billion a year from a network of more than 300 suppliers. Boeing currently employs over 6,000 people in India, and more than 13,000 people work with its supply chain partners. The Boeing India Engineering & Technology Center (BIETC) in Bengaluru and Chennai undertakes complex advanced aerospace work and supports Boeing’s global engineering growth. Boeing’s wholly owned engineering and technology campus in Bengaluru, one of the largest Boeing investments outside the U.S., was inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India in January 2024.
