Mahindra Aerostructures received a multi-year contract from Airbus to manufacture and supply fuselage skins for the A320 aircraft family. The contract covers components for the A320neo and A321XLR models, particularly the rear fuselage and tail sections. Production will take place at Mahindra Aerostructures’ facility in Bengaluru, India, with finished components supplied to Airbus’ manufacturing plant in Augsburg, Germany. Initial engineering and tooling design are underway, while deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2028. The project will also expand technological capabilities through advanced production lines for chemical milling, surface treatment, and stretch-forming, strengthening India’s role in the global aerospace supply chain.
