Adani Defence Systems & Technologies Ltd. (ADSTL) has signed definitive agreements to acquire Air Works, India’s largest and most diverse independent MRO with a presence in 27 cities across the country.
Air Works has developed extensive operational capabilities for key defence and aerospace platforms within the country. Air Works performs base maintenance for the ATR 42/72, A320, and B737 fleet of aircraft from its EASA and DGCA-certified facilities in Mumbai, Delhi, Hosur, and Kochi, beginning with the first P-8I aircraft Phase 32 checks and continuing with Phase 48 checks and MRO on the landing gear of the Indian Air Force’s 737 VVIP aircraft.
Given India’s growth trajectory and the government’s focus on connecting the country through a massive mesh of air connectivity, the primary growth of India’s airline and airport sector is unavoidable. As a result, the Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul sector is critical in both the defence and civilian aerospace sectors. Add to that the ongoing modernization programme aimed at making India a large market for defence aircraft, and you have one of the most exciting, comprehensive, at-scale, and digital MRO services within the nation’s borders.” said Adani Defence & Aerospace CEO Ashish Rajvanshi
