The Times of IndiaStatusindia: Eyes in the sky: How India plans to detect & destroy every airborne threat before it strikes - The Times of IndiaIndia is undertaking a major expansion of its Airborne Early Warning & Control System (AEW&C) fleet, with plans to grow from 6 to 18 aircraft through two indigenous programmes: six Netra Mk-1A aircraft with extended 450 km detection capability due by 2027-28, and six heavier Netra Mk-2 platforms on Airbus A321 airframes for induction from 2032. The expansion addresses India's strategic challenge of monitoring a 15,000 km land border and 11,000 km coastline against a potential two-front conflict with Pakistan and China. AI Engineering Services Limited and Adani Defence Systems & Technologies are serving as development partners for the Netra Mk-2 programme.The Times of IndiaGovernment News | Latest news on eGovernance, Digital India, Smart Cities | ET GovernmentThe DRDO has signed contracts with AIESL and Adani Defence to convert six A321 aircraft and integrate mission systems for the Indian Air Force’s (IAF) AEW&C Mk-II surveillance aircraft programme. This development marks a significant step in India’s defense and aerospace capabilities, especially in surveillance technology.The Times of IndiaDesign, testing and certification key to India’s aerospace ambitions: Experts at ET Infra Air Summit 2026Experts at the ET Infra Air Summit 2026 emphasized that India must invest in indigenous design, testing, and certification infrastructure to advance its aerospace ambitions and reduce reliance on overseas facilities. Key industry players including Tata Group, Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd, and AI Engineering Services Ltd highlighted strategic developments such as manufacturing partnerships with Airbus, sustainable aviation fuel pathways, and the MRO sector's move up the value chain.MintWhy labour crisis at India’s largest aircraft MRO remains unresolved despite breakthrough talks | Today NewsA labour crisis at Air India Engineering Services Ltd (AIESL), India’s largest aircraft MRO company, remained unresolved as of 27 May despite 13 days of protests, with management making a partial climbdown by accepting resignations of around 180 engineers. Key demands including reinstatement of terminated employees, wage revision, overtime and career progression talks remain unsettled, keeping an estimated 2,200–2,500 engineers across facilities in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Bengaluru away from maintenance duties. Safety concerns have escalated following an Air India emergency landing on 21 May and CPI(M) raising the issue with the Prime Minister’s Office.The Times of IndiaCongo aircraft arrives for check at Tvm MRO facility | Thiruvananthapuram News - The Times of IndiaA Serve Air aircraft from Democratic Republic of Congo arrived at the Thiruvananthapuram MRO facility for maintenance and base checks. The base maintenance work is being conducted by AI Engineering Services Ltd (AIESL), which recently received DGCA approval for structural and composite repairs on Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 components. The MRO facility is performing structural checks, system overhaul and repairs on Serve Air's Boeing aircraft.Aviationa2zAIESL Plans 200-300 Crore MRO at These Two New AirportsAI Engineering Services Ltd (AIESL) is planning to invest ₹200–300 crore to establish new MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) facilities at Noida International Airport (Jewar) and Navi Mumbai International Airport, with each wide-body hangar expected to cost ₹100–150 crore. The expansion comes as major carriers including Air India, IndiGo, and Akasa Air develop in-house maintenance capabilities, increasing competition in India's aviation maintenance sector where 90% of heavy maintenance is currently outsourced overseas. AIESL operates six maintenance bases and reported turnover exceeding ₹2,100 crore in FY24, with FY25 projections of ₹1,750 crore revenue and ₹300 crore profit.MintAIESL eyes Jewar, Navi Mumbai MRO hubs as competition intensifies | Company Business NewsState-owned aircraft maintenance firm AI Engineering Services Ltd (AIESL) is in talks to set up MRO facilities at Jewar and Navi Mumbai airports, planning a ₹200-300 crore investment in new hangars to capture rising demand from airlines. The expansion comes as competition intensifies, with carriers such as Air India, IndiGo, and Akasa Air building their own captive maintenance bases, potentially squeezing AIESL's market position. AIESL expects projects to be operational within two years of securing approvals, with investment of ₹100-150 crore per hangar funded largely through internal resources.The Times of IndiaBoost for Orange Line as work starts on diversion route at airport exitRVNL has commenced work on constructing a traffic diversion route at Kolkata airport's exit to facilitate the completion of the Orange Line metro corridor, India's longest box-push tunnelling project beneath the airport exit road. The new route, carved out by razing the boundary wall of Air India Engineering Services Ltd, involves extensive grouting work to stabilize porous soil during the tunnelling of the final 135 metres. The diversion road, expected to be ready within a month, will only be activated during emergencies such as major subsidence, with all stakeholders including AAI, Air India, and Metro Railway coordinating the arrangement.The Times of IndiaAI Engineering Services seeks partners for access to aircraft IP, manuals to boost MRO capabilitiesState-owned AI Engineering Services Ltd (AIESL) is seeking strategic partners to gain direct access to proprietary aircraft manuals and technical literature needed for high-end component overhaul activities, according to officials. Since its separation from Air India following the Tata Group acquisition in January 2022, AIESL has lost access to certain proprietary technical documentation, posing challenges to maintaining upgraded shop capabilities. The company, which aims to increase annual revenue by March 2026 and serves over 25 foreign and domestic carriers, views acquiring intellectual property rights as critical despite being a costly investment.The Times of IndiaAI Engineering Services seeks access to aircraft proprietary manuals for high-end component MRO works; eyes strategic partners - The Economic TimesAI Engineering Services Ltd (AIESL), a state-owned MRO company formerly part of Air India, is seeking strategic partnerships to regain access to proprietary aircraft manuals and technical literature needed for high-end component overhauls. Since its separation from Air India following the Tata Group acquisition in January 2022, AIESL has faced challenges in maintaining upgraded shop capabilities aligned with global standards. The company, which operates facilities across seven Indian cities and serves over 25 foreign and domestic airline customers, aims to increase its annual revenue in FY 2025-26 by expanding its client base and collaborating with other MROs to maximize facility utilization.
