"Mukhyamantri ji, aisa hota rehta hai (respected Chief Minister, this keeps happening)," PM Modi told Siddaramaiah on stage as people kept chanting his name.

 


At the event, PM Modi said that due to growing demand, airlines in India have ordered hundreds of aircraft and the country has become the third major domestic aviation market in the world.

"India is set to give new energy to global aviation market," he said.

He also highlighted the role of women in the aviation sector, saying that 15 per cent of pilots in the country were women, which was 3 times the global average.

"The time for women-led development has come," PM Modi said.

Built at Rs 1,600 crore, the 43-acre state-of-the-art Boeing India Engineering and Technology Centre (BIETC) campus is the planemaker’s largest such investment outside the US, the company said.

The campus at Hightech Defence and Aerospace Park in Devanahalli on the outskirts of Bengaluru will become a cornerstone for partnerships with the vibrant startups, private and government ecosystem in India, and will help develop next-generation products and services for the global aerospace and defence industry, Boeing said.
