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.
