India MRO Market to Reach USD 5.7 bn by 2030

26 Mar 2026 CW Team

Engine maintenance, repair and overhaul demand is expected to account for almost half of the overall market, with airframe work and modifications identified as the fastest growing segments over the same period. The directors of the consultancy analysed component and heavy maintenance trends and concluded that base maintenance and structural modification activity will increase at a higher rate than some line maintenance services. Supply chain and parts provisioning were identified as areas where capacity will need to expand to match rising demand.

Alton forecasts that India’s commercial aircraft fleet will grow to more than 1,800 aircraft by 2030, with narrow-body aircraft almost doubling from over 700 aircraft today to over 1,300. This fleet expansion is expected to concentrate maintenance demand on narrow-body types, increasing requirements for engine shop visits, airframe checks and standard modification programmes. Operators and third party providers were noted as likely to reassess network and capacity plans to address the projected workload.

The report was presented as an indicator of market opportunity for maintenance providers, original equipment manufacturers and component suppliers, and it was suggested that investment in facilities, tooling and skilled technicians will be necessary to capture expected growth. The consultancy recommended that stakeholders plan capacity and training initiatives to align with fleet growth and changing service mixes, while monitoring regulatory and supply chain developments that could affect delivery timelines.

The projection was published by Alton Aviation Consultancy and was attributed to its directors, who set out market size estimates and growth drivers.
