The Indian government has scrapped certain import duties in a bid to strengthen the country’s local aviation and aerospace sector.
The decision is expected to reduce operational and manufacturing costs for aviation-related businesses, including maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) providers and other industry stakeholders. Lower import costs can help improve competitiveness and attract additional investment into the sector.
By easing tax burdens, the government aims to encourage domestic capability development and position India as a stronger hub for aviation services and manufacturing.
The move forms part of broader efforts to support growth in the aviation ecosystem, improve cost efficiency, and enhance India’s standing in the global aerospace market.
