Embraer Talks Up India Supply Chain Potential

Brazil's Embraer Sees India as Key Market for Defense and Commercial Aircraft

Embraer sees India as a key market for both defense and commercial aircraft, and is looking to increase its supply chain presence in the country.

"India is a very important market for us, both in defense and commercial aviation," said Jackson Schneider, Embraer's Vice President for Asia-Pacific. "We see a lot of potential for growth in India, and we are committed to developing our presence in the country." Embraer is already a major supplier to the Indian defense sector, with its Super Tucano aircraft used by the Indian Air Force and Navy. The company is also in talks with the Indian government about supplying its KC-390 transport aircraft. In the commercial aviation sector, Embraer is looking to increase its market share in India. The company has already sold over 100 aircraft to Indian airlines, and is in talks with several other carriers about potential orders. Schneider said that Embraer is looking to increase its supply chain presence in India in order to support its growing business in the country. The company is already working with several Indian suppliers, and is looking to expand its network in the future. "We are committed to developing a strong supply chain in India," said Schneider. "We believe that this will help us to be more competitive in the Indian market, and will also support the growth of the Indian aerospace industry." Embraer's plans to increase its supply chain presence in India are in line with the Indian government's Make in India initiative, which aims to boost domestic manufacturing. The government has set a target of increasing the share of domestically manufactured goods in the defense sector to 70% by 2024. Embraer's decision to increase its supply chain presence in India is a positive development for the Indian aerospace industry. The company is a major player in the global aerospace market, and its presence in India will help to boost the domestic industry.
