Mahindra and Embraer Propose Nagpur for C-390 Military Aircraft Assembly Line
Mahindra and Brazilian aerospace firm Embraer have identified Nagpur, Maharashtra, as the proposed site for a potential final assembly line of the C-390 Millennium military transport aircraft. This initiative depends on the aircraft's selection by the Indian Air Force under its Medium Transport Aircraft programme. The planned facility aims to include assembly, system integration, manufacturing engineering, and local supply chain development, supporting India's Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India goals. The partnership also envisions maintenance, repair, overhaul, training, and lifecycle support capabilities, with India expected to order 60 to 80 aircraft.
