Key Benefits of Indigenization of Aviation Technologies
The indigenization of aviation technologies has numerous benefits for StartUps and MSMEs, including:
*Increased competitiveness*: By developing their own aviation technologies, StartUps and MSMEs can increase their competitiveness in the global market.
*Improved product quality*: Indigenization allows for better control over the production process, resulting in improved product quality and reduced costs.
*Job creation*: The indigenization of aviation technologies can lead to significant employment generation potential, both directly and indirectly.
*Infrastructure development*: The development of indigenous small aircraft manufacturing under the “Atmanirbhar Bharat” initiative would support the development of infrastructure, including airports, maintenance facilities, and training centers.
Supporting the Development of Infrastructure
