Boeing estimates that India will need 1,000 commercial aircraft worth $100 billion over the next 20 years, while PricewaterhouseCoopers estimates that India will spend $25 billion on commercial aircraft and $100 billion on defence until 2014. This will drive growth for domestic components suppliers.
The Karnataka Govt. has acquired 1,000 acres near the Bangalore International Airport in Devanahalli for the aerospace SEZ. About 55 per cent of the land will be allotted to companies for setting up factories.
Units in the SEZ will cater to domestic demand as well as the export market. The park will include aviation MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) activities too.
So far, state-owned defence suppliers BEML Limited and HAL, Mahindra and Mahindra, Dynamatic Technologies and Japan’s Amada have been allotted land. These companies are eyeing a substantial portion of the business emerging out of the offset business opportunity.
