Aerospace: On a high
The Global Scenario
Global aerospace industry enjoys high growth as military
expenditures continue to rise and emerging economies take the
lead in the civil aviation industry. While dominant players are
based in Western Europe and the US, Asia Pacific, including India
is set to gain from outsourcing of manufacturing as well as MRO
activity.

Total Market Size: $ 3.2 trillion

Source: PwC

The global aerospace industry has come a long way since the first
flight was undertaken in 1903; market size of commercial and
defence aircraft was estimated at US$ 97 billion in 2007 .
Defence sales account for more than 80% of the total market
typically dominated by the Government and public sector, while
the growing private sector civil aviation has led to a broad-based
expansion of the industry across the world. In addition there is
sizeable MRO activity -- Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul -which is a major component of operating aircraft. On an average,
the aerospace industry spends more annually on MRO than on
manufacturing or development.
The global aerospace market has five main components, each with
distinct market structures and drivers military aircraft and light
combat aircraft make up the bulk of the market, while jets and
helicopters account for less than 20% share. In the past decade,
military expenditure has been rising with the international war on
terrorism, while civil traffic has seen a spurt due to robust
economic growth, rising incomes, globalisation and falling air fares.
Changing landscape in civil aviation: Though the recession in
2008 in advanced countries has been a setback for the civil sector,
emerging economies have taken charge of leading global growth
by recovering faster China, India and the Middle East are the
most promising drivers of the civil aviation market. According to
research by Boeing, the fastest growing economies in Asia will
lead change in the market space, with Asia-Pacific set to be the
largest air transport market in the world with 45% share of air
travel. Commercial airplane market is estimated to be a huge
$ 3.2 trillion by 2027, with Asia-Pacific accounting for 37% of the
total market.
Moreover, while presently the industry is dominated by US and
EU based companies, there has been an increasing trend in
outsourcing as firms look out for low cost manufacturing
locations. MRO outsourcing is set to rise from 52% in 2006 to
65% by 2016. Here again, the Asia-Pacific is set to gain with its
efficiency, expertise and labour cost advantages. Demand for

14

military aircraft is also on the rise, with increased military

expenditure across the world.
Space Industry: There has also been considerable rise in the
global space industry, estimated currently at US$ 250 billion, that
comprises satellite manufacturing and launching, to imaging,
navigation and telecommunications. For many years, government
expenditure on space and satellite programmes was the sole
driver of the space industry. However, with rise in commercial
applications that touch consumer homes directly through GPS
receivers and satellite television, there has been a surge in the
market size as technology works to change the way the common
man accesses information and makes his decisions.
Total revenue for space products and services was estimated at
US$ 91 billion in 2008, up 10.4% from the previous year. The
highest revenue earner within the commercial satellite service
sector was the direct-to-home television, which generated
US$ 69.6 billion. Fixed satellite services were the second highest
earner at US$ 16.8 billion, showing a strong growth rate of 31%
over the previous year. Commercial space infrastructure, including
launch vehicles, satellites, ground stations, in-space platforms etc.
yielded an estimated revenue of US$ 83.1 billion, with 69 orbital
launches, of which 28 carried commercial payloads. The United
States and Russia continue to dominate the launch space, while
China has been rising in importance with record domestic
launches. India ranks amongst the top ten players in the space
industry with its significant achievements in satellite launches,
moon mission etc.
Prominent Global Companies:
Boeing USA
EADS Netherlands
Lockheed Martin USA
Northrop Grumman USA
BAE Systems UK
General Dynamics
Raytheon
United Technologies
General Electric
Finmeccanica
Among the largest users of aerospace technology are the
Department of Defense (USA), National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA), European Space Agency (ESA), Ariane
France and others.

The Indian Scenario

The Indian aerospace industry is one of the fastest growing
aerospace markets in the world. With a long history spanning six
decades, the country has an excellent pool of resources matching
global standards. Indias liberalised economy offers sound
opportunities for international companies look to outsource
manufacturing and MRO activities.
Globally, Indias position in civil aviation improved from tenth to ninth
position in 2007. Air traffic has been growing at almost 25% annually.
The country has been upgrading its airports to international
standards, catering to heavier cargo and passenger traffic.
It is in the space industry that India has made even more significant
strides it is one of the six countries in the world that undertakes
space launches with commendable work put in by Indian Space
Research Organisation (ISRO) through its commercial arm,
Antrix.
The genesis of research and development capabilities of the
country lie in the establishment of the institutes like Defence
Research and Development Organisation (DRDO)
Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore and Council for
Scientific Industrial Research (CSIR) offer opportunities in
research and training for aeronautical graduates
The Aeronautical Society of India formed a platform where
engineers, industrialists and professionals could work together for
the industry
ISRO has successfully operationalised two major satellite systems
namely Indian National Satellites (INSAT) for communication
services and Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites for
management of natural resources. Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle
(PSLV) for launching IRS type of satellites and Geostationary
Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) for launching INSAT type of
satellites are some of the Indian space programmes notable
successes.
Private airlines now account for 75% of domestic aerospace market.
Opening up the skies led to a boom in air traffic, both passenger and
freight, which was reversed in 2008 with the global slowdown.
However, as the graph below shows, recovery has begun and the
aviation sector is set to continue on its high growth trajectory.

Indian MRO segment has been growing at 11 percent and has not
been affected significantly by the slowdown.This market is expected
to grow at an average of 10% and reach $ 2.6 billion by 2020.
The Government recognises the need for massive investment to
meet these growing needs:
The Ministry of Civil Aviation estimates investment of
$ 200-300 billion over the next 25 years, till 2034.
The Airports Authority of India has planned investment of
$ 3.04 billion to upgrade airports across the country, even as the
sector is open for public-private partnerships (PPPs).
According to Boeing, India needs 856 airplanes worth
$ 72.6 billion over the next 20 years to meet the surging
demand.
Investments in the Indian Space Programme to the tune of
Rs. 39,750 crores during the period 2007-2012, under the
Governments Planning Commission programmes.
Policy initiatives: The Indian Government has liberalised the
framework for operating in the aerospace industry considerably:
Manufacturing and R&D activity is allowed 100% Foreign
Direct Investment on automatic route in all areas, except air
traffic services.
While 100% domestic private investment is allowed in the
defence sector, there is a limit of 26% FDI in the manufacture of
defence equipment, which is also subject to licensing
requirements.
100% FDI permitted under automatic route for MRO, flying
training institutes and technical training institutes.
100% tax exemption for airport projects for a period of 10 years.
Defence Offset Policy, effective from September 2008 has a
mandatory offset requirement of a minimum of 30% for
procurement of defence equipment in excess of Rs. 3 billion, only
direct offsets are allowed, banking of direct offset credits
permitted for up to two years, transfer of technology not
counted towards offset calculation and vendor is free to choose
Indian offset partner.
Tax incentives are given for investing in Special Economic Zones.

The Future: Going ahead, growth in air traffic is expected to

outperform the global average till 2025. In military aviation, India is
expected to spend about $35 billion over the next 20 years as it
replaces its existing fleet.

HAL, has 19 production units and 9 research and development
centres in 7 locations across India, of which, 8 production units
and 4 R&D centres are located in Bangalore. Ranked 40th in
Flight International's list of the Worlds Top 100 aerospace
companies in 2008, HAL has a total turnover of Rs. 10,400 crore.
It has manufactured 12 types of aircraft with in-house R&D and
14 types under licence. While it has built more than 3,550 aircraft
and 3,600 engines, over 8150 aircraft and 27,300 engines have
been overhauled at its facilities.
Bharat Electronics Ltd. is another public sector firm working in
this industry, which has entered into MOUs with international
companies like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, EADs etc.
NAL was set up in 1959 under CSIR in Bangalore. The
aeronautical lab consolidated its position as a major player with
the approval of Indias Light Combat Aircraft project in 1983.
NAL, the only civilian aerospace laboratory in the country, is a
leader in civil aviation design.

liberalisation has been underway since 1991, reforms have been

gradually spreading through to all sectors and the defence sector
was opened to the private sector in 2001. For instance, Air
Works India Engineering Private Ltd, established in 1951, became
the first DGCA-approved independent Airline MRO in
November 2008 for its facility near Bangalore.
Private firms registering a major presence in the industry include:
QuEST Global, the engineering company, set up base in
Bangalore in 1998 and moved into the aerospace manufacturing
in 2006, having entered into a 10-year strategic relationship with
Magellan Aerospace. In 2007, the firm set up the countrys first
special processing facility for aerospace manufacturing, delivered
the first set of A-380 components to SABCA and achieved
Airbus and AS 9100 certification. The very next year, it became
the first Indian private sector player qualified to offer end-to-end
solutions to European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company
N.V. (EADS), and set up a dedicated sheet metal fabrication
facility for aerospace.
In 2009, QuEST established Indias first aerospace SEZ in Belgaum,
300 acres dedicated to offering an aerospace customer all
from design to manufacture of components and systems in one
place. QuEST Global has a manufacturing facility in Bangalore that
does precision machining. Capabilities have been enhanced in the
Belgaum SEZ to include additional precision machining
capabilities, sheet metal work, and aerospace special processing
(through a JV with Magellan Aerospace).
The company has signed MoUs with 3 major players in the
aerospace manufacturing space:
SABCA, Belgium: Airbus A-350XWB Flap track mechanism
metallic parts manufacturing and assembly work from SABCA
Magellan Aerospace: to evaluate setting up an aero-engine
focused manufacturing facility with annual revenues of $50m
Farinia SA: MOU to evaluate the establishing of an aerospace
forging facility

Though in the public sector, these aerospace centres have grown

in stature, registering international standards of technical
excellence and capabilities. They work with many firms in the
private sector to raise technological skills, technical and
managerial processes etc. Private sector suppliers to the defence
sector and the public sector firms were exposed to high
standards, raising their capabilities as well. While industrial

Investments in Aerospace
While QuEST Global set up the countrys first aerospace SEZ in
Belgaum in November 2009, the State Government has also
planned an Aerospace SEZ in 250 acres of land at Devanahalli,
near Bangalore International Airport, both these have attracted
significant interest. Udyog Mitra, the governments single window
agency for industrial projects and the apex body for SEZ projects,
has given clearances to majors like US civil and military aviation
companies and the European Aeronautics and Defence Systems
or EADS (Rs. 11,700 crore investment); Sobha Nadathur
Aerospace Pvt Ltd (Rs 200 crore) and hydraulic equipment
manufacturer Dynamatic Technologies (Rs 466 crore). Five
proposals worth Rs. 135.98 crores were cleared by the State
Level Single Window Clearance Committee (SLSWCC) in June
2009: Systems Controls, G.L. Polyurethane Company Private Ltd.,
Micron Engineers, Priyaraj Electronics Limited and Pacific Natura
Biotech Private Limited are ready to invest in aerospace
component units in the aerospace SEZ at Devanahalli.
HALs proposal to set up a Rs. 2,095 crore unit in Devanahalli
to manufacture aero-engines and provide MRO facilities was
approved by the SLSWCC. In January 2010, British engine maker
Rolls-Royce Group Plc announced that it is setting up its first joint
venture (JV) firm in India in a tie-up with HAL to make civil aero
engine components and sub-systems locally for export. The firms
will initially invest $4 million (Rs.18.4 crore) each in a unit in
Bangalore, through which Rolls-Royce will step up sourcing of
components and systems for most of the engines it makes.

Several new ventures have been set up recently in this space:

Airbus Industries has located its Airbus Engineering Centre in
India at Bangalore
The first public private JV in aircraft design was signed
between Mahindra and Mahindra, NAL and the Government
of India in 2007.
In 2008 Boeing signed a collaboration with IISC, Wipro and
HCL to develop wireless and other network technologies for
aero space related applications.
Air Works India Engineering Pvt. Ltd. set up in 2009 a MRO
facility at Hosur with an investment of $25 million, to carry
out C checks for various aircraft. In February 2010, it
announced the acquisition of a 85% stake in the British
company, Air Livery. Air Works aims to utilise the technical
know-how of Air Livery to help airlines bring down their
maintenance costs.
Other prominent MNCs operating in this sector in Karnataka
include GE, Rolls Royce, BAE, Turbo Meca, EADS etc.

Hassan, Shimoga, Bellary, Bijapur and Gulbarga. The government

plans to add 12 airstrips in the State, has opened Karwar and
Bidar Defence Airports for civil traffic and is in the process of
setting up 20 helipads to provide easy access to all districts and
give the necessary infrastructure boost to helitourism.
The State Infrastructure Policy aims to provide a fair and
transparent policy framework for the facilitation of the process
of economic growth and encouragement of PPP in the
infrastructure sector in the State. Apart from duty exemptions,
assistance in land acquisition etc. for the aviation sector specifically,
the government has given a tax concession on aviation fuel, at 4%,
for the first three years of operation to district headquarters.

Air traffic was hit by the global slowdown in 2008, though the
subsequent year saw a revival in Asia, trends are still not very
strong for the Western countries. Bangalore and Mangalore
followed these trends in traffic, which have now picked up to
pre-crisis levels once again.
AeroIndia

Many global and large private companies are now building on the
base that public sector units like HAL and NAL have laid in
Karnataka, most notably in the area of design services, but
increasingly also in manufacturing. The state has emerged as a
major global design centre, with international majors like Airbus,
Boeing etc. having set up their India operations and outsourcing
their engineering design requirements either to in-house centres or
to third party engineering services partners like Quest, Infosys etc.

It is an International Aerospace and Defence Exhibition

organised by Ministry of Defence biennially at Bangalore.
Seventh event of Aeroindia was held during 2009, in which, 600
exhibitors including 300 exhibitors from 25 countries were
participated. Exhibitors from India and overseas had 54 chalets
for high-profile meeting with various dignitaries.

Air Traffic and Airports in Karnataka

Aircraft manufacturers from India and other countries has 46

aircrafts, participating in the static and flying displays in addition
to IAF aircrafts.

While liberalisation in the aviation sector, private sector airlines

began operations in the country in the nineties and Bangalore was
a natural hub for the southern region, given its high prominence in
the IT and Auto sectors in the country. Infrastructure is being
upgraded and expanded across the state to meet the growing
demand of air travel. Mangalore and Bangalore are the two
international airports in the State. The Bangalore International
Airport Limited, the first private airport in the country, has the
capacity to handle 3,000 passengers per hour. There are also two
domestic airports catering to the northern part of the State at
Hubli and Belgaum and the airport at Mysore is in the process of
being upgraded, while new airports have been proposed at

The aircrafts included, the Cessna, Eurofighter, F16, F18 Hawker

Beechcraft, Legacy 600, Super Hornets, MIG 35, etc., in addition
to the Hawk, Tejas and Dhruv from India.
Official delegation from 50 countries participated in the event.
In addition, there was B2B meetings, HR workshops, etc.

Strengths and Opportunities

Karnataka, the home of Indias aerospace industry, has a strong
framework providing all requisite resources for this industry
research and development capabilities, leading information
technology and engineering services, manufacturing expertise
with global firms located in the state and a huge pool of skilled
manpower. While Bangalore is the natural destination for all
players in the aerospace industry, the countrys first aerospace
SEZ has been set up in Belgaum in November, 2009.
There is a proposal to set up an Aerospace SEZ in a 250-acre
space in Devanahalli, near the new airport in Bangalore. There
is also a proposal to set up a Defence Manufacturing Hub over
500 acres in Chellakere Taluk in Chitradurga district, adjacent
to the HALs 200 acre component manufacturing site.
Further, with the IT giants like Wipro, Infosys and Voit of
Germany getting into software and intelligent applications
related to the Sector, theres more opportunities waiting to be
harnessed.
As the home of the aerospace industry in India, Karnataka scores
high on every part of the ecosystem of the aerospace and defence
industry. This is amply demonstrated by the fact that the state hosts
the first aerospace SEZ in the country and is set to leverage its
strengths to become the aerospace hub of the region.
At the basic level of raw materials needed, Karnataka is an
important producer of aluminium, a critical raw material input for
the aerospace industry. The Belgaum unit of Hindalco houses an
alumina plant, a world-class research centre for alumina, and a
carbon paste and block plant. The alumina plant started operating
in 1969 with an initial capacity of 75,000 tpa of alumina hydrate. It
currently produces around 380,000 tpa. Since the 1990s the plant
has become predominantly an export-oriented unit of metallurgical
alumina, while producing several grades of special aluminas and
hydrates for non-metallurgical applications, like refractories,
ceramics, polishing, fire retardant plastics, alum, zeolite, etc. Over the
years, the plant has expanded its capacity of speciality products to
around 138,000 tpa, with approximately 120 different grades,
serving more than 600 customers across 35 countries.

the State grid in near future. Solar power projects are also been
planned in Belgaum and Raichur districts. At the same time,
connectivity is being improved upon by expanding airports, road
and rail network and upgrading ports on the coast.
With experience for more than six decades, the state has built up
considerable resources and talent pool that is available to all
companies working in the aerospace sector. At the very base of
the aerospace industry lies research and development and
engineering design, capabilities that are well developed in the
state through its pool of skilled technical manpower, backed by
presence of internationally renowned institutions HAL, DRDO,
ISRO, NAL, IISC all based in Bangalore. More global
manufacturers are comfortable outsourcing to India, particularly
Karnataka, because of the presence of electronic and technical
skills and fluency in the English language.
Add to this the fact that Bangalore, as the IT capital of the
country, brings with it a concentration of the best IT capabilities
Karnataka has the highest number of CMM Level 5 certified
software companies providing solutions to the aerospace industry.
The IT industry brings to aerospace the high technology
capabilities that are vital for cost reduction. As explained by
Infosys, older aircraft in general suffer from a problem of
over-design, done to meet safety and other regulations that result
in extra metal weight, higher fuel consumption etc. Software and
engineering expertise works to innovate to create new tools and
solutions that obviate such over-design and yet ensure the same
levels of safety. Such design changes have been effected by Infosys
for almost all recent commercial aircraft programmes, including
business jets, and all parts of an aircraft, including landing gear,
fuselage, wings, avionics, inflight systems, and electrical systems
(an exception being the engine).
Further, Karnataka is the manufacturing base for all major auto
firms and auto component manufacturers. High end technical
support and suppliers experienced to handle complex orders
matching global standards are therefore easily available in the state.
QuEST Global, the company which has set up the countrys first
aerospace SEZ in Belgaum, points out its capabilities in the
aerospace sector in the flowchart below, characteristics that are
replicated in other firms operating out of the state.

It is also the third-largest producer of steel in the country,

providing location advantage to the auto and engineering industry
in the state. There is a concerted effort by the state to raise the
capacity of power generation in the state to cater to the growing
demand of industry. In last 4 years, 16 power projects are
approved in the State which would add 10,760 MW power to

24

25

Creating an enabling environment is the goal of the states investor

friendly and responsive government, which has put in place policies
to assist investors at every step upgrading infrastructure,
providing easy availability of land through its Land Bank, setting up
the countrys aerospace SEZ etc. There are many challenges
ahead ensuring a steady stream of manpower to meet the
growing requirements, ready availability of raw materials, complex
tax system which the government is working towards mitigating.
The high fliers
The Aerospace Sector in Karnataka abounds with examples of
PPP. By providing for the countrys first aerospace SEZ, the
government has shown its clear intent in supporting the growth
of this industry in the state.
While there are a slew of success stories in the aerospace sector in
Karnataka, the most striking example is that of Hindustan
Aeronautics Ltd., which began operations as a private company in
1940 as Hindustan Aircraft Limited in Bangalore. With a string of
achievements to its credit, the company which has been supplying
for Boeing successfully since 1991, is set to produce flaperons for
Boeings 777 series of commercial jetliners. This represents a
significant leap forward in technological capability - the 777 flaperon
is a highly complex composite assembly, referred to a control
surface working both as an aileron to control roll and as a flap to
control lift. With a JV announced with Rolls Royce in January 2010,
the company has taken another step forward. HAL supplies
components to several global engine companies and has nine
JVs six of them formed in the past three years with companies
such as Canadas aircraft simulator maker CAE Inc., Israels Elbit
Systems Ltd and Safran unit Snecma SA.
Airbus set to transfer majority of engineering work to India
LiveMint, October 9th 2009
There is a big push at the top level to grow business in
India in the next three to four years, Eugen Welte, head of
operations at Airbus Engineering Centre India Pvt. Ltd., said
at an aerospace symposium in Bangalore on Saturday.
Around 60% will be done internally, 40% local outsourcing.

26

Another global major Airbus SAS is set to move 20% of its

engineering design activities to low cost countries, most of it to
India, to be better able to compete with its main rival, Boeing Co.
Currently, it has located its 120 people engineering centre in
Bangalore, which will be expanded to more than 400 employees
by 2012. It outsources work to around 20 Indian IT and
engineering service providers including Infosys Technologies Ltd.,
Quest, HCK Technologies etc . Its Bangalore engineering centre is
the only one outside Europe that does what is called `non-specific
work. These are works that are not specific to an aircraft part, but
involve issues related to aerodynamics, aerothermics (temperature,
ventilation), aeroelastics (effect on structure, such as vibration etc),
and simulation of flight management, developed new tools to
create better aircraft and speed up aircraft development.
Interestingly, in 2005, Airbuss top supplier auto engine maker
Snecma SA set up a subsidiary in collaboration with HAL in
Bangalore.
QuEST Global that has set up the countrys first aerospace SEZ in
Belgaum in November 2009 is in fact a prime example of the fast
track that industry works at and achieves in the state. The Belgaum
SEZ is expected to yield aerospace-related business worth around
Rs 2,500 crore in 10 years and could be the next big bet in this
sector outside Bangalore. The SEZ is expecte to create more than
7,000 jobs for local talent and infuse $ 500 million (in)to the
economy in ten years. Belgaum has many location advantages:
hundreds of foundries and low-cost engineering talent,
well-connected with Bangalore, Hyderabad, coastal Mumbai and
Goa, and is already a source for auto components for the auto
industry in Bangalore, Pune and Hyderabad. Quest, a company
begun by two engineering graduates from Karnataka, is in the
supply chain for Airbus A80 and A350 that is due in 2013; provides
landing gear shackles for Boeing 777, 787 and 737 aircraft
programmes through its partner, Magellan a Boeing and Airbus
supplier. EADS, Rolls-Royce, GE Aviation, Toshiba and UTC are
among its clients. In November 2009, it entered into a contract
with Airbus vendor SABCA of Belgium to supply flap track
mechanism metallic parts from out of the SEZ for the prestigious
A350 programme.

27

In the March 29th 2010 meeting of the State High Level

Clearance Committee. 34 investment proposals worth
Rs. 94000 crore were cleared. These included the proposal for a
250-acre SEZ in Devanahalli Aerospace Industrial Area. The SEZ
is an effort to provide all solutions related to avionics in a
concentrated manner, from a comprehensive range of
technologically advanced precision milling machines, to
productivity enhancing software and engineering solutions,
engineering and process optimisation projects and a wide range
of special tools for customers in the aerospace sector.
Clearly, India is one of the worlds most sought after markets;
with all its inherent strengths and opportunities, Karnataka is the
destination for all global players in the aerospace industry.
