Mahindra, Embraer in talks to build C-390 military aircraft ecosystem
Mahindra and Brazilian planemaker Embraer are in early talks to build a C-390 Millennium military aircraft ecosystem in India. They are jointly chasing the Indian Air Force's Medium Transport Aircraft programme, and have picked Nagpur for a possible final assembly line. Everything still depends on the government choosing the aircraft and placing an order, so no manufacturing work exists yet.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Mahindra and Embraer are jointly pursuing the Indian Air Force's Medium Transport Aircraft programme with the C-390 Millennium aircraft.
- Nagpur has been identified for a possible final assembly line, and the Maharashtra government has allotted land there for it.
- The plan only moves ahead if the Indian government selects the C-390 Millennium and places an order under the MTA programme.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you run an aerospace or engineering business, keep an eye on the MTA programme outcome before planning any supply, MRO or hiring move, since nothing is assured until the order is placed.
