Embraer has concluded another executive-level visit to India as it has continued to expand and strengthen its supply chain in the country.
“We reaffirm our strong commitment to collaborating with India’s aerospace industry. Our focus is on advancing joint initiatives in defense and civil aviation, contributing to technological innovation, operational excellence, and long-term strategic partnerships,” Executive Vice President of Global Procurement and Supply Chain at Embraer, Roberto Chaves, said.
“India is a key partner in shaping the future of aerospace, and we are dedicated to building sustainable cooperation that supports both the domestic industrial base and global initiatives.”
This visit has built on Embraer’s longstanding presence in India and has followed ongoing discussions with local industry players and government stakeholders.
Embraer has assessed a range of potential suppliers in India, including capabilities in aerostructures assembly, machining, metal forming, composites, wiring systems, and hardware and software development.
Embraer views India as a key strategic partner in the Asia Pacific region and plans to implement an extensive local supply chain program in the country.
Recently, the company has inaugurated its Indian office in New Delhi to further strengthen its Asia Pacific footprint. A dedicated local Procurement team has also been established to support Embraer’s supply chain initiatives in the country.
Embraer currently has a fleet of more than 44 aircraft operating in the country, serving customers in Commercial Aviation, Executive Aviation, and Defense & Security. This includes five Embraer VIP jets operated by the Indian government and three EMB 145 AEW “Netra” aircraft operated by the Indian Air Force.
