The industry is expected to continue its growth trajectory in 2019, led by growing commercial aircraft production and strong defense spending.
The size of the opportunity is huge. The government is looking at achieving a turnover of Rs 1.7 trillion in military goods and services by 2025 and the SP model is envisaged to capitalise this opportunity and contribute to Make in India programme.
