Brazilian aerospace company Embraer has officially opened its new office in New Delhi, marking a significant step in its commitment to the Indian market. Embraer also signed a strategic cooperation agreement with India’s Mahindra Group to jointly develop and promote the C-390 Millennium military transport aircraft for the Indian Air Force’s Medium Transport Aircraft program.
Building on their previous partnership, the two companies aim to make India a regional hub for the C-390, focusing on local manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance. This move aligns closely with India’s ‘Make in India’ initiative and efforts to strengthen domestic defense production capabilities.
The C-390 Millennium is a versatile aircraft designed for a range of missions, including cargo transport, troop movement, medical evacuation, and firefighting. Known for its robust performance and ability to operate on short or unpaved runways, the C-390 is well-suited to meet India’s diverse defense needs.
This collaboration highlights growing international cooperation in defense and aerospace sectors, with Embraer emphasizing India’s central role in its global strategy.
