by

Adani Defense & Aerospace and Brazil’s major aircraft manufacturer Embraer plan to set up a final assembly line (FAL) in India for the E175 regional jet aircraft. In this regard, officials of both the companies exchanged an advanced Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in the national capital on Saturday in the presence of Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal. This step has been taken after the strategic cooperation announced on January 27.

work already in progress

According to the information, moving forward from the initial MoU signed in January, this initiative is part of a broader framework to develop an integrated regional transport aircraft (RTA) ecosystem in India. The two companies are already working together to advance all aspects of the MoU, including opportunities in aircraft manufacturing, supply chain, aftermarket services and pilot training, and also securing orders to support the proposed FAL (Final Assembly Line).

88 passengers can travel together

The E175 aircraft can seat a maximum of 88 passengers and can be deployed to increase regional air connectivity between tier II and III cities. The E175 aircraft can enable new routes, better connectivity and reliable operations in these markets underserved by larger aircraft, the release said. In the next 20 years, India is expected to require at least 500 aircraft in the 80-146 seat segment.

MoU signed between both the companies

On Saturday, an improved MoU was signed between Adani Defense and Aerospace Director Jeet Adani and Embraer President and CEO Francisco Gomes Neto. Neto said the E175 jets have a global track record of enabling efficient, high-frequency regional operations and India is an important growth market in that segment. Jeet Adani said that regional aviation is the backbone of economic expansion. With initiatives like UDAN transforming air connectivity in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, the need for an indigenous regional aviation ecosystem has become acute.
