The Aerospace Media Group’s (a STAT Media Initiative) signature Aerospace Defence MRO South Asia Summit is planning yet another Blue-Riband event at its new home – the grand IICC at Yashobhoomi, in New Delhi. Slated for March 26 & 27, 2025, the conference will be co-located with the twin exhibitions – MRO XPO India and Aircrafts Interiors India, all of which would be planned across a much larger floor plate than the earlier editions of MROSA.
The MRO industry in South Asia has witnessed remarkable growth in recent years, fueled by increasing air traffic, the emergence of low-cost carriers, and the region's strategic location. With countries like India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan at the forefront, South Asia has become a dynamic hub for MRO services, catering to both domestic and international markets.
The MRO industry in South Asia is highly competitive, with several established players operating in the region. India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan are the major players in the region, with India in particular at the forefront and accounting for a significant share of the MRO market.
India has become one of the potential aviation markets in recent years. India will almost certainly become an MRO hub in the long run. The MRO market in India is currently worth more than $2.6 billion, according to estimates. Also, it is now expected to cross US $4 billion by 2030.
Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi envisions aerospace and defense as vital catalysts for his ambitious "Make in India" initiative, which strives to establish the world's fifth-largest economy.
Taking advantage of India’s exalted third position in the global aviation market, the country’s strategic geographical location, the event in 2025 is planned to be bigger and better, and something that stakeholders of both Civil and Defence Aerospace sectors cannot afford to miss. With an exhibition area to accommodate 100 plus booths of adjustable sizes, an exclusive Defence Pavilion, and the co-located 6th Aerospace & Defence MRO South Asia Summit 2025, will leave participants, delegates and partners spoilt for choice.
Unparalleled Networking: MRO South Asia 2025 brings together top-tier industry experts, leading airlines, MRO service providers, and solution vendors from around the globe. Participants get to network with like minded professionals, forge valuable connections, and exchange ideas, and come away with an experience that can be best described as enriching. All this then will go a long way towards shaping the future of the industry.
Discover Business Opportunities: Enthused by this year’s full-house at the twin XPOs, a much larger exhibition area was warranted. IICC as the venue will create a dynamic marketplace to be explored, new business deals to be forged, where Start-ups and established players get to showcase their talent, products, services, and solutions. Discover potential business partners, and investment opportunities, unlocking new avenues for growth and profitability.
Professional Development: Enhance your knowledge and skills through technical presentations and panel discussions delivered by industry experts. Stay ahead of the curve and equip yourself with the tools necessary to excel in the new age of aircraft maintenance.
Embrace Innovation: Step into the new age of aircraft maintenance and witness the latest advancements in material, technology, digitalization, and automation. Discover how these innovations are revolutionizing efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness in the maintenance and repair sector.
