GE AEROSPACE TO EXPAND ITS MANUFACTURING FACILITY AT PUNE IN 2024

The investment will allow the facility to add new projects and manufacturing processes by acquiring machines/equipment and specialized tools along with capacity enhancement of existing products.

“This investment helps us to continue our growth in aerospace in India, giving us the resources, we need to meet increasing customers’ demand,” said Amol Nagar, the managing director for GE Aerospace’s Pune facility.

Inaugurated in February 2015, the factory produces components for commercial jet engines. These are supplied to GE’s global factories where they are used to assemble G90, GEnx, GE 9X, which is the world’s most powerful commercial jet engine, and the LEAP engines by CFM, a GE and Safran joint venture. The facility has been instrumental in developing local aerospace manufacturing talent having trained over 5000 people since inception in specialized aerospace precision manufacturing processes.

Certified under ISO14001 & ISO45001, the facility has built environmental best practices and stewardship in the community. For example, 30% of its power consumption comes from renewable sources, it has zero liquid discharge, recycles and reuses 1 crore litres of water(100 million litres) every year and recycles 20 metric tons of plastic.
