Its integrated logistics and Performance-Based Logistics (PBL) offerings ensure exceptional platform availability for the P-8I, Apache, Chinook, and C-17 fleets, with the latter supported through the Globemaster Integrated Support Program (GISP). Through the Boeing India Repair Development and Sustainment (BIRDS) program, BDI continues to collaborate with customers and industry partners to expand regional MRO infrastructure and advance India’s ambition of becoming a leading MRO hub.
Supply chain partnerships
Boeing’s commitment to nurturing and strengthening the supplier ecosystem in India’s aerospace and defence sector is central to its overall supply chain strategy in the country. Boeing is the largest foreign OEM sourcing from India, procuring over $1.25 billion annually through a rapidly expanding network of more than 300 supplier partners, including over 25 percent MSMEs, all of whom play an essential role in Boeing’s global supply base. This expanding ecosystem reflects significant progress in quality, capability, and technological sophistication—moving from basic assemblies to highly complex systems that involve advanced materials such as composites and full-size determinant assembly (FSDA) supported by next-generation manufacturing technologies like robotics.
Indian suppliers today manufacture critical components and systems for some of Boeing’s most advanced platforms, including the F/A-18 Super Hornet, F-15, CH-47 Chinook, P-8, AH-64 Apache, 777, 787 Dreamliner, and 737. This exemplifies Boeing’s commitment to “Make in India for the World,” with a strong focus on technology-driven value addition and complex manufacturing.
