GE Aerospace plans to nearly double its supply chain spending in India to Rs. 3,802 crore (US$ 400 million) by 2030, reinforcing its long-term commitment to the country’s growing aviation and aerospace ecosystem. The company’s supply chain spending in India stood at Rs. 1,901 crore (US$ 200 million) in 2025. According to Mr. Vikram Rai, Chief Executive Officer for South Asia at GE Aerospace, the planned increase reflects the company’s commitment to expanding component sourcing from India, including the addition of new components and higher volumes of existing components. The company has been present in India for over 40 years, with operations spanning civil aviation and defence. Its domestic manufacturing and technology footprint includes an aero-engine components facility in Pune and a technology centre in Bengaluru. The Pune facility has received investments of around Rs. 2,426 crore (US$ 255 million) and serves as an important global sourcing base.
GE Aerospace’s Indian supplier network comprises 17 global suppliers, including Tata Group, Mahindra, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and Godrej, alongside more than 2,000 local suppliers. The company has over 1,400 commercial engines and more than 200 defence engines operating in India. Growing aircraft orders are expected to support future demand, with more than 1,700 new aircraft ordered by Indian airlines anticipated to enter service over the coming decade. India’s domestic passenger traffic reached 340 million in FY2025–26 and is projected to rise to 1.1 billion by 2040. GE Aerospace’s Bengaluru Technology Centre, established in 2000, develops predictive maintenance and inspection technologies and has received over 1,000 patents. Its digital technology team in India also supports global supply chain, maintenance, repair and overhaul, and sales operations through artificial intelligence, predictive analytics and optimisation.
