C-390 Transport Aircraft to Be Assembled in India Under Embraer-Mahindra Deal
Brazilian aerospace company Embraer has inaugurated its India office in New Delhi and signed a strategic agreement with the Mahindra Group to develop a hub for its C-390 Millennium military transport aircraft. The partnership aims to support production, maintenance, and potential export of the C-390 from India.
Embraer’s move aligns with India’s growing focus on defence manufacturing and the ‘Make in India’ initiative. The company also plans to build long-term capacity within the country to tap into aerospace and defence opportunities, both domestically and globally.
The agreement with Mahindra could pave the way for deeper industrial collaboration, technology transfer, and job creation in the Indian defence sector. With India’s increasing demand for military transport solutions, the C-390 project may serve as a key step in boosting indigenous defence capability and positioning India as a global aerospace hub. Further developments are expected in the coming months.
