Airbus, Mahindra Ink Helicopter Deal

Airbus and Mahindra Aerostructures have signed a significant contract to manufacture complete fuselages for the H130 helicopter in India. This marks the first time that Airbus will source helicopter fuselages from India, aligning with its commitment to deepen local industrial partnerships under the ‘Make in India’ initiative.

The H130, a widely used light single-engine helicopter, serves roles in tourism, medical transport, and law enforcement. Mahindra will build these fuselages at its facility in Telangana and deliver them fully equipped to Airbus's final assembly line in France. The agreement also includes tail booms and aft structures, enhancing the scope of Indian contribution to the global aerospace supply chain.

This strategic move is expected to boost domestic aerospace manufacturing and generate skilled jobs, while also reinforcing India’s position in the international aviation ecosystem. The collaboration highlights Airbus’s growing confidence in Indian engineering and production capabilities. By integrating Mahindra into its helicopter production network, Airbus strengthens its supply chain resilience and supports India’s ambitions to become a hub for advanced aerospace manufacturing. The project is set to begin deliveries by 2025 and will contribute to both local industry growth and Airbus’s global operations.
