Indian defense and aerospace industry is on a major growth trajectory. On one hand India is deemed as the fastest growing economy for air travel. In the next two decades air travel is expected to grow at a rate of 7.7 percent as against the global growth rate of 4.7 percent. Airspace infrastructure, which includes airport equipment and machinery, faces a huge deficit that needs to be addressed, by the aerospace industry. According to the Society of Indian Aerospace Technologies & Industries, the India needs civil aircraft is worth USD 20 billion in next ten years. Airport infra-structure worth USD 3.5 billion required during the current decade, whereas the maintenance market including spares currently is estimated to be at USD 100 million annually. On the other hand military aviation in India is witnessing a distinctive and determining transformation. The military aerospace market is valued over USD 150 billion for the 20 years.
