Commercial aviation is poised for huge growth in the country
- The commercial aviation segment is the largest in terms of aircraft delivered in the country. India has become the third-largest domestic aviation market in the world and is expected to overtake the UK to become the third-largest air passenger market by 2024. Indian aviation also contributed 5% of the GDP, creating a total of 4 million jobs. In addition, this industry has a USD 72 billion gross value-added contribution to GDP. Air traffic has been growing rapidly in the country as compared to the global average. The air fleet number is expected to rise from the present 600 to 1,200 during 2024.
- Followed by the commercial segment, the general aviation industry in India is considered a luxury for both business and private needs and strongly drives the country's economic growth. The surge of tourist traffic into India and the rising HNWIs have driven the growth of the country's general aviation sector. Despite these driving factors, challenges in ease of doing business, complications with the tax structures, inadequate infrastructure, and complicated processes to obtain operating licenses have resulted in subdued growth of the business aviation market in India.
- Furthermore, India is a critical military aircraft market, as the country has been modernizing its aerial capabilities by procuring new aircraft and indigenously developing military aircraft to defend its borders from Pakistan and China. HAL is the largest manufacturer of aircraft and helicopters in India and has been producing BAE Hawk Trainers and Tejas LCA. It is also developing fifth-generation advanced medium combat aircraft under the Make in India initiative, with deliveries expected to start during the forecast period.
