GE Aerospace has committed a fresh Rs 100 crore to its manufacturing facility in Pune, deepening its bet on India as a hub for producing critical commercial aircraft engine components, the Businessline reported.
The latest tranche will fund new welding technologies, advanced inspection equipment, precision tools, gauges, fixtures and broader infrastructure upgrades aimed at boosting production capacity and tightening process accuracy.
With this, the American aerospace giant’s cumulative investment in the Pune plant over the past three years has crossed Rs 510 crore, building on Rs 410 crore announced across 2024 and 2025.
The facility, which feeds into engine programmes such as the GE90, GEnx, GE9X and CFM International’s LEAP, draws on a local supplier network of over 300 firms and a wider base of more than 2,200 GE Aerospace suppliers across India.
CFM is a 50-50 venture between GE and France’s Safran.
Vishwajit Singh, Managing Director of the Pune facility, said the investment underlines the company’s manufacturing commitment in India. “We are working to have good skill development, which will be a resource for the aerospace industry in India… I think because of our help with the suppliers and with the skill development, we have really contributed to the vision the government has for the aerospace industry in India,” he said.
