Successful Indian MRO! A term historically alien to our Aviation industry. What seemed like an impossible dream a few years ago is now fast becoming a reality despite the ongoing pandemic. One of the few industries that has seemed to have bucked the trend and sustained itself in these difficult times. Furthermore, as per the data analysis of the association, Indian MRO is likely to grow in 2021 at more than twice the growth rate of Indian GDP, bringing in new and additional jobs. Full credit must be given to all the officials of the MoCA for bringing out much needed changes for our fiscal policies. Our next target is for Indian industry to breach the 1 Billion dollar revenues from MRO and achieve Atmanirbhar Bharat. For this, we are working closely with our Airport operators and Regulatory agencies to bring about much needed positive changes.
