Union Minister Ram Mohan Naidu lit up the ‘Wings India 2026’ launch in Hyderabad by disclosing a decade of aviation triumphs: airports and planes have doubled across India. From Begumpet Airport’s runway, he pivoted to the future – forging a manufacturing ecosystem that eyes global markets.
This isn’t mere domestic scaling; Naidu envisions India exporting aircraft innovations in 10-20 years. The summit serves as a platform to flaunt national capabilities in aviation production.
Credits go to PM Modi’s strategic oversight and UDAN’s impact on accessibility. Spotlighting the Embraer-Adani Aerospace alliance, Naidu called it a milestone for India’s aviation credibility. Final agreements loom next month with Brazil’s President in town.
Expect ‘good progress’ in manufacturing soon, the minister forecasted. Inspecting Air India’s bespoke Boeing 787-9, he tackled supply snarls head-on: hefty orders to industry leaders mean deliveries are ramping up, tailored for India’s unique needs.
Boosting sector morale, these moves coincide with Airbus and Boeing’s $2 billion annual buys from Indian suppliers. Emerging centers will solidify supply chains, propelling India into aviation’s big leagues with self-reliance at its core.
