GE Aerospace aims to double India sourcing to $400 million in four years

New Delhi: The United States-based GE Aerospace plans to double its supply chain spending in India to $400 million a year by 2030 as it expands the range and volume of components sourced from the country.

The company is stepping up procurement from existing Indian suppliers while bringing additional components into its sourcing network, according to a report released on Monday.

GE Aerospace South Asia CEO Vikram Rai said the planned increase reflected the company's long-term commitment to India's expanding aviation ecosystem.

GE Aerospace has operated in India for more than four decades, with businesses spanning civil aviation and defence. Its operations include an aero engine component manufacturing facility in Pune and a technology centre in Bengaluru.

The company works with 17 global suppliers in India, including Tata Group, Mahindra, Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) and Godrej, alongside more than 2,000 local suppliers.

More than 1,400 of its commercial engines and over 200 defence engines are currently operating in India. The Pune facility manufactures aero engine components and supplies parts for engines used across the company's global operations. GE Aerospace has invested about $255 million in the facility so far.

India's expanding aircraft fleet is expected to create additional demand for engines and related services. Indian airlines have placed orders for more than 1,700 aircraft scheduled for delivery over the next decade, most of which are expected to be powered by engines from GE Aerospace and its partners, the report said.

As of 2026, Indian carriers had more than 3,000 GE Aerospace and partner engines on order, it added.

In July 2026, IndiGo announced a memorandum of understanding with CFM International for more than 1,000 LEAP-1A engines to power 510 Airbus A320neo family aircraft. The agreement also includes support for the establishment of the airline's proposed engine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility.

GE Aerospace's Bengaluru Technology Centre, established in 2000, develops engineering and digital solutions for the company's global operations.
