Hyderabad’s skies buzzed with promise as Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu opened ‘Wings India 2026’ at Begumpet Airport. He dropped a key stat: over 10 years, India’s aircraft and airport counts have doubled, thanks to visionary policies.
Now, the focus sharpens on manufacturing. Naidu shared plans for an ecosystem serving not just India but the world, exporting aviation tech in decades ahead. The conference spotlights this manufacturing might.
UDAN and PM Modi’s blueprint deserve applause for the boom in traffic and infrastructure. Enter the Embraer-Adani deal – a game-changer for local assembly, with timelines set during bilateral talks next month.
Naidu anticipates swift strides in two years, heralding India’s aviation ascent. He examined the Boeing 787-9 for Air India, the inaugural unit amid easing delivery backlogs from Boeing and Airbus orders.
‘Custom-built for our passengers, these will instill faith,’ he noted. Meanwhile, $2 billion in parts flow yearly from India to these giants, nurturing a web of manufacturing sites. India’s aviation story evolves from consumer to creator.
