Adani, Embraer sign MoU to build regional aircraft in India, set up assembly lines

Under the agreement, the two companies will set up final assembly lines (FAL) for regional aircraft in India. However, details on the location of the proposed facility and timelines for the rollout of the first aircraft were not disclosed at the signing ceremony.

“The collaborative industrial partnership will aim to establish an assembly line, followed by a phased increase in indigenisation to advance India’s Regional Transport Aircraft (RTA) programme, in alignment with the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative and the UDAN regional connectivity vision,” Adani said in a statement.

Civil aviation minister K Rammohan Naidu said the collaboration marked an important step in India’s regional aircraft ambitions.
