With a $200 million, 43-acre wholly-owned engineering and technoolgy campus in Bengaluru, US defence and aviation major Boeing has been concentrating on enhancing the capabilities of its R&D team in India.
In terms of size, this will be Boeing’s largest site outside of the US.
According to sources, India has played a key role in many of the company’s products, which is the main motivation behind the investment.
Currently, the Boeing India Engineering & Technology Centre (BIETC) currently has some 4,000 employees, of which over 3,000 are engineers. The company plans to increase the strength by 25%.
