GE Aerospace Targets $400 Million in India Supply Chain by 2030

GE Aerospace plans to nearly double its India supply chain spending to $400 million by 2030, expanding component sourcing and strengthening domestic aerospace manufacturing as aviation demand grows.

GE Aerospace plans to nearly double its supply chain spending in India to $400 million by 2030, strengthening its sourcing of aircraft engine components and expanding its role in the country’s growing aviation and manufacturing sectors. The company spent approximately $200 million on its Indian supply chain in 2025, highlighting the scale of its planned expansion.

Vikram Rai, Chief Executive Officer of GE Aerospace South Asia, said the planned increase reflects the company’s long-term commitment to India’s aviation ecosystem. The expansion will involve sourcing additional components from Indian manufacturers and increasing procurement volumes for components already supplied by domestic companies.

According to the report titled Powering Progress: GE Aerospace’s Economic Impact in India, prepared with support from EY India, the company works with 17 global suppliers in India, including Tata Group, Mahindra, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and Godrej. Its wider domestic network also includes more than 2,000 local suppliers, supporting manufacturing operations and global supply chains.

GE Aerospace has maintained a presence in India for more than four decades, with operations spanning civil aviation and defence. Its Pune manufacturing facility produces aircraft engine components and serves as a sourcing base for parts used in engines supplied to international markets. The company has invested around $255 million in the facility to strengthen its manufacturing capabilities.

India’s expanding aviation market is a key factor behind the investment. Indian airlines have more than 1,700 aircraft on order, many of which are expected to use engines supplied by GE Aerospace and its partners over the coming decade. The growth in aircraft deliveries is expected to increase demand for engine components, maintenance services and advanced engineering capabilities.

The company’s Bengaluru Technology Centre, established in 2000, supports engineering, digital technology and global operations. It has developed the Analytics-Based Maintenance platform, which uses predictive insights to help airlines plan maintenance and reduce unexpected engine removals. The centre has also contributed to blade inspection technology and secured more than 1,000 patents.

India’s domestic passenger traffic reached approximately 340 million in fiscal year 2026 and is projected to grow substantially in the coming years. Against this backdrop, GE Aerospace’s planned spending increase is expected to expand opportunities for Indian suppliers, strengthen domestic aerospace manufacturing and deepen the country’s integration into global aviation supply chains.
