What's behind this
Indian airlines are increasingly seeking domestic maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) capacity as aircraft deliveries speed up and fleet sizes grow. The move aims to cut reliance on overseas providers and bolster operational capabilities. Air India has announced plans to set up an MRO facility in Bengaluru by 2027, while IndiGo has highlighted the importance of self‑reliance in maintenance. Akasa Air is also working on a maintenance facility at Noida airport, which is expected to become operational in the future. These initiatives reflect a broader industry push for greater in‑house MRO capabilities.
