‘Make in India’ boost for the aviation sector: Airbus has awarded a contract to Dynamatic Technologies, an Indian company, for manufacturing all the doors of its narrow body A220 family of aircraft. This move is a significant development in expanding the ‘Make in India‘ initiative.
The announcement was made at a function attended by Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and others in New Delhi. The financial details of the contract were not disclosed, according to a PTI report.
Dynamatic Technologies, based in Bengaluru, already manufactures the Flap Track Beam of the Airbus A330 and A320 Family aircraft. This contract is one of the single-largest export contracts for an Indian aerospace manufacturing company.
It is the second doors-contract awarded by Airbus to an Indian supplier. In 2023, Tata Advanced Systems Ltd. was given the contract for manufacturing bulk and cargo doors of the A320 family of aircraft.
According to Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, India is becoming a destination for aircraft component manufacturing activities. He further stated that it is the right time for Airbus to invest in India.
The minister added that the plane maker aims to increase its sourcing of aircraft components from the country to $1.5 billion, compared to last year’s $750 million.
