U.S.-based aircraft manufacturer Boeing expects to receive more orders for its Dreamliner planes from India in the coming years. A senior company executive said the Indian aviation market is growing quickly and offers strong opportunities for expansion.
Salil Gupte, President of Boeing India and South Asia, said India is one of the fastest-growing aviation markets in the world. As more people choose air travel and airlines expand their fleets, the demand for modern and fuel-efficient aircraft like the Dreamliner is expected to increase.
He said Boeing is hopeful of securing more orders from Indian airlines as they continue to add new routes and increase capacity. The company believes that India will play an important role in its future growth plans.
Speaking about the ongoing tariff issues between India and the United States, Gupte acknowledged that there are some short-term challenges. However, he said both countries are working towards strengthening cooperation in the aerospace sector.
He stressed that India and the U.S. share a common goal of developing and expanding the aerospace industry in India. This includes manufacturing, partnerships, and creating more jobs in the sector.
Despite temporary trade concerns, Boeing remains confident that it will overcome these challenges and continue to grow its presence in the Indian market.
