Venkat Katkuri, Head of Defence and Space, Airbus India & South Asia:

“This programme has been in the works for some time now gratitude to the IAF, MoD and all other Government of India stakeholders for placing their trust in Airbus. We are looking forward to operationalising the project in partnership with the Tata’s and engaging more deeply with the Indian industrial ecosystem. Airbus will strive through this and future programmes to develop the local industry and integrate them into our global supply chain under the vision of ‘ Atmanirbhar Bharat’. As an Indian and as Airbus I am eager to see the Indian industry claim its place on the global stage through this unique ‘Make in India’ programme.”
