GE Aerospace to Double India Spending by 2030

GE Aerospace has announced plans to nearly double its spending on Indian suppliers between 2025 and 2030, aiming to strengthen its domestic supply chain. This move supports India's rapidly growing aviation sector, with a projected expenditure of $1 billion by 2030. The company's investments span component manufacturing in Pune and engineering in Bengaluru, enhancing India's aerospace capabilities.

As of 2026, GE Aerospace engines powered most of India's commercial airline operations, with over 1,400 engines in use. The company's commitment includes partnerships with Indian customers and suppliers, fostering the next generation of aerospace talent. This strategy aligns with India's goal to become a global aerospace hub.

The EY report highlights that India's aviation industry is expected to see substantial growth, with passenger traffic projected to reach 1.1 billion by 2040. This expansion will necessitate approximately 3,300 additional aircraft for India and South Asia. GE Aerospace's increased supplier spending is crucial for meeting this demand.

GE Aerospace's manufacturing facility in Pune, established with a $200 million investment, has expanded automation and precision capabilities. Its Bengaluru Technology Centre, founded in 2000 with a $200 million investment, is a key hub for research and engineering, contributing to global engine designs. These centers are vital for workforce development and technological innovation.
