In order to produce raw materials for common aerospace parts and components in India, Boeing India announced that it would evaluate and work with Mishra Dhatu Nigam Limited (MIDHANI).
According to a news release from Boeing, it is essential to have access to unique aerospace materials and alloys locally if India is to develop a self-sufficient aerospace and defence sector.
The availability of essential aerospace materials is the first step in securing the supply chain, and aligning with the NDA government’s vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat, the release said.
“Public sector units are an important part of Boeing’s supply chain footprint in India. The potential collaboration with MIDHANI will strengthen Boeing’s supply base and increase material sourcing options from India,” Salil Gupte, president, Boeing India, said.
