在发达印度2047愿景下为航空业铺平未来

ForewordbyKPMGinIndia India’s aviation story is central to nationalgrowth in Viksit Bharat 2047. It connectspeople to opportunity, strengthens tradeand tourism, and supports high valueemployment across airports, airlines,manufacturers and service providers. Overthe past decade, policy measures such asNCAP 2016 and UDAN have laid firmfoundations. Operational airports haveexpanded, service quality has improved,and Indian carriers have placed significantfleet orders that signal confidence in longterm demand. sustainability. Technology with AI will bethe backbone with data sharing standardsthat enable real time, paperlesscoordination and decision making acrossstakeholders. Sustainability must progressfrom intent to delivery through a credibleSAF roadmap and production.Manufacturing and skilling will advance ontwin tracks: near term production andservices to meet immediate needs,alongside long-term capability building thatanchors self reliance. Collaboration is the constant. Policy makers,regulators, and industry will need tooperate as one system, with transparencyand shared performance goals. With thiscollective focus, India can deliver by 2047an aviation ecosystem that is superconnected, resilient and globallycompetitive, connecting the world throughIndia and creating enduring economic valuefor the country. This report looks to 2047 and sets out acoherent programme to turn groundworkinto global leadership. The ambition isclear: a super connected, technologyenabled and sustainable aviation systemthat competes internationally whiledeepening domestic capability. The planproposes industry depth in manufacturing,MRO, cargo, skilling and leasing to makeIndia Atmanirbhar in aviation and wherecapacities can scale in line with demand. Delivery will rest on disciplined execution.Capacity creation must be synchronisedacross network rather than siloeddevelopment.

Cost competitiveness and loweredoperational costs will be central to airline viability,supported by structural measures such asbringing ATF under GST, lower MRO and leasingcosts and access to cheaper capital. Indian aviation is in a decisive phase of growth,marked by rising demand, sustained capacitycreation, and accelerated ecosystem development.Over the past decade, policy, regulatory, andinstitutional interventions such as the NationalCivil Aviation Policy 2016, the UDAN scheme,deregulation, and sustained improvements inease of doing business have reshaped theoperating environment and enabledunprecedented expansion. India is now the world’s third-largest domesticaviation market1and is on track to become thethird-largest globally, supported by rapid fleetinduction and record aircraft orders. The nextstage requires a fundamental evolution in aviationfrom its traditional role as a facilitator of mobilityto become a strategic engine of economic growth,employment, and global competitiveness. Theoverarching objective is to transform India from alarge aviation market into a globally competitiveaviation ecosystem, with integrated capabilitiesacross manufacturing, maintenance, operations,and innovation. Integrated with road, rail, metro, and logisticssystems, this network would reduce transit times,improve reliability, and ensure that aviationfunctions not only as a mode of transport, but as acore enabler of economic integration, trade, andemployment across the country. Against this context, this report sets out ninestrategic themes that together would pave thefuture of Indian aviation in Viksit Bharat @ 2047.Collectively, they outline an agenda for buildingan aviation ecosystem that is larger in scale,deeper in domestic capability, globallycompetitive, and structurally ready for the future. 2.AI powered Indian Aviation Tech Stack AI is already reshaping aviation, from enterprisefunctions to passenger services.
