Embraer has completed another executive-level visit to India as it continues to expand and strengthen its supply chain footprint in the country. The visit reinforces the company’s commitment to deepening industrial cooperation between Brazil and India, while exploring new business opportunities across its portfolios.
“We reaffirm our strong commitment to working with India’s aerospace industry. Our focus is on advancing joint initiatives in defence and civil aviation, contributing to technological innovation, operational excellence and long-term strategic partnerships,” said Roberto Chaves, Executive Vice President of Global Procurement and Supply Chain at Embraer. “India is a key partner in shaping the future of aerospace, and we are dedicated to building sustainable cooperation that supports both the domestic industrial base and global initiatives.”
The visit builds on Embraer’s longstanding presence in India and follows ongoing discussions with local industry players and government stakeholders. During the visit, Embraer assessed a range of potential suppliers, including capabilities in aerostructures assembly, machining, metal forming, composites, wiring systems, and hardware and software development.
Embraer considers India a key strategic partner in the Asia-Pacific region and plans to implement an extensive local supply chain programme in the country. Recently, the company opened its office in New Delhi, further strengthening its Asia-Pacific presence. A dedicated local procurement team has also been established to support Embraer’s supply chain initiatives in India.
India is a strategic market for Embraer across all of its business segments. The company currently has more than 44 aircraft operating in the country, serving customers in Commercial Aviation, Executive Aviation, and Defence & Security. This includes five Embraer VIP jets operated by the Indian government and three EMB 145 AEW “Netra” aircraft operated by the Indian Air Force.
