In Vadodara, Gujarat, he said on the sidelines of the ceremony to lay the cornerstone for the C-295 transport aircraft manufacturing facility, “The C-295 aircraft is a direct result of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s inspirational “Make in India” policy, which inspired my company, Airbus, to completely reimagine how we conduct business in India. Over the next ten years, we will deliver to India more than 1 aircraft a week on average.”

India and Airbus have a long-standing partnership built on mutually beneficial growth. The company’s technology and know-how have supported India’s armed forces’ modernization and helped the country’s civil aviation sector grow for more than 50 years.

In order to produce the C-295 military transporter to replace the Indian Air Force’s fleet of Avro aircraft, Airbus is offering to establish a final assembly line in India in collaboration with Tata.

To satisfy the Indian Air Force’s long-term strategic needs, Airbus will provide the multiplier-proven A330 Multi-Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) aircraft.
