Mahindra, Embraer Eye MRO Facility In India For Military Cargo Aircraft C-390

Mahindra and Embraer are collaborating to establish a Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facility in India for the C-390 multi-mission military transport aircraft. This partnership aligns with the Indian government's 'Make in India' initiative, which aims to enhance domestic manufacturing capabilities in the defense sector. The agreement, finalized in October 2025, represents a significant step towards bolstering India's military logistics and operational readiness. The C-390 aircraft is designed to support various missions, including cargo transport, medical evacuation, and humanitarian aid. By localizing MRO services, Mahindra and Embraer not only plan to reduce operational costs but also create job opportunities and foster technological advancements within the Indian aerospace industry. This venture underscores the growing collaboration between private Indian firms and global defense manufacturers, reinforcing India's strategic position in the international defense market.
