Overview

• Mahindra Aerostructures will manufacture the main fuselage of Airbus’s H125 helicopter under a newly awarded contract.
• Industrialisation starts immediately at Mahindra’s Bengaluru facility, with the first H125 fuselage delivery expected in 2027.
• The award builds on Mahindra’s April contract for H130 fuselages and further integrates the company into Airbus Helicopters’ global value chain.
• The move complements Airbus’s India strategy that includes planned H125 and C295 final assembly lines with Tata Advanced Systems.
• Airbus says it now procures about $1.4 billion a year from India, and neither side disclosed financial terms of the new contract.
