Senior Vice President, Boeing to deliver the Keynote address
@ Aerospace & Defence - MRO South Asia Summit
For immediate release
Mumbai, India, January 12, 2018: Dr. Dinesh Keskar, Senior Vice president, Boeing Commercial Airplanes will be delivering the keynote address on the morning of 18 January at Aerospace & Defence MRO South Asia Summit taking place at Hotel Taj
Mahal, Mansingh Road, New Delhi.
The Indian Aviation Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) industry is expected to grow over 1.5 billion by 2020. But the
global Aviation MRO market is worth USD 45 billion, which reflects the fact India constitutes only a miniscule of the global
MRO market. India is a rapidly growing aviation market Added to this there is an ever mounting requirement of military aircraft
necessitated by defence requirements. There are very few MRO service providers in the country. Most of the Indian MRO
requirements are met outside Indian soil resulting in heavy drain on foreign exchange. There is therefore a huge scope for the
growth of MRO within India.
But the situation is undergoing a paradigm shift with the ‘Make in India’ policy launched by the Government. The measured
steps that the Indian Government has taken in moving towards the open-sky policy, emphasis on indigenisation of production
in defence, optimising the cost of aircraft operations, opening up of defence MRO for private participation, will enhance India’s
strength as an MRO hub in the South Asia region.
The two day summit organised by STAT Times will look at ways and means of exploiting this market both in Civil and defence
sectors. High profile leaders from across various sectors of the industry with rich knowledge and experience in the field have
lined up for sharing their experience.
Dr. Keskar occupies a very senior position in Boeing and is an accomplished
authority in Aviation. His keynote address will add a lot of value to the discussion at the Summit.
