Paving the future of aviation in Viksit Bharat @ 2047

Enhanced connectivity will be the foundation of India’s aviation growth. By linking smaller cities through dense regional networks and building globally competitive hubs with seamless transfers, and multimodal integration, a Super-Connected India will become a critical node in global aviation flows and a powerful enabler of trade, tourism, and jobs

AI will power India’s aviation leadership unlocking step-change in capacity, reliability, and service quality. A unified Indian aviation tech stack with secure, real‑time data sharing will eliminate operational silos and place AI at the centre of decision‑making driving system efficiency and coordinated operations across the ecosystem

Manufacturing will anchor India’s global aviation leadership converting scale into a strategic capability. With deeper global partnerships, Industry 4.0‑ready MSMEs, and strong indigenous programmes, India will build a world‑class aerospace ecosystem driving economic value creation, innovation, and high‑skill jobs at scale

India is scaling its MRO ecosystem at pace, backed by tax and policy reforms that are strengthening competitiveness and investor confidence. By building high‑value engine and component maintenance at scale, enabled by AI‑driven predictive systems, India will deepen specialised capability accelerating its journey towards being a global MRO hub

GIFT IFSC is India’s platform to build a globally competitive hub for aviation finance supported by a facilitative regulatory and tax environment. With rising market confidence and the Protection of Interests in Aircraft Objects Bill, 2025 strengthening creditor assurance and improving lease economics, India is deepening its leasing ecosystem to mobilise capital at scale and finance the aviation growth of the future

Air cargo will be a catalytic enabler of Viksit Bharat @ 2047 powering export growth, manufacturing expansion, and deeper integration into global value chains. Integrated cargo ecosystems with end‑to‑end digitisation, automation, and AI‑enabled decision‑making will reduce dwell times, lower logistics costs, and build globally competitive cargo gateways

Skilling at national scale will underpin India’s aviation expansion, converting growth into high‑value jobs across airlines, airports, manufacturing, MRO, and services. An industry‑anchored, future‑ready talent pipeline aligned to digital operations, AI‑enabled workflows, and new technologies will power growth and establish India as an aviation skilling hub

Sustainable Aviation Fuel is both an imperative and a strategic opportunity for India. India is well positioned to build a competitive SAF industry leveraging local aviation demand, abundant feedstocks, strong refining capacity, deep bioenergy experience, and rising policy momentum.
 

With scale and the right ecosystem, SAF can meet India’s domestic needs and position India as an exporter to the global aviation industry

Advanced Air Mobility can unlock a new layer of urban connectivity delivering fast, reliable links across congested and high-value corridors, emergency response and time‑critical logistics. With industry progressing from pilots towards commercialization, readiness for operations while anchoring domestic manufacturing in propulsion, avionics, batteries, composites, and software will enable India to build early leadership in next‑gen mobility
