Organised by the Department of Defence Production under the Ministry of Defence, the five-day event will bring together leading global aerospace and defence companies, policymakers, technology experts, innovators, industry stakeholders and defence forces personnel.
Aero India has emerged as a major international platform showcasing India’s capabilities in aerospace, defence manufacturing, emerging technologies and innovation.
The event will provide opportunities for business-to-business and government-to-industry engagements, technology demonstrations, international cooperation and strategic dialogue.
It will also feature aerial displays by the Indian Air Force and participating international flying teams.
The ministry said a dedicated web-based portal has been developed to facilitate participation of exhibitors and visitors.
Online registration and booking of exhibition space will commence from September 3 through the official Aero India website.
Aero India 2027 is expected to provide further impetus to the government’s ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative and India’s efforts to emerge as a trusted partner in the global defence and aerospace supply chain.
The event will also encourage greater participation of Indian defence industries, including MSMEs and start-ups, and create opportunities for partnerships, investments, exports and technology collaboration, the ministry said.—(NVI)
