THE OPPORTUNITY
Precision, already in the DNA
The western industrial belt has produced forgings, castings and precision components for Indian railways and heavy industry for generations. That capability transfers directly into aerospace and defence supply chains — structural components, ground support equipment and maintenance, repair and overhaul. The state is building dedicated defence corridors with test facilities and clearances handled through a single window.
INCENTIVES & POLICY
