To meet Airbus's high standards, Mahindra is investing in advanced technology like chemical milling and stretch-forming lines (think next-level manufacturing tools).
Engineering upgrades are already underway.
Airbus India's President and Managing Director for Airbus India and South Asia Jurgen Westermeier said, "By manufacturing complex components for our A320neo and A321XLR aircraft directly out of Bengaluru, Mahindra is playing a pivotal role in deepening India's aerospace footprint and further driving the vision of 'Make in India' on the global stage."
This win builds on their past teamwork making helicopter parts together.
