Mahindra Aerostructures Wins $300 Million Global Contract with Aernnova for Airbus and Embraer Aircraft Components

Mahindra Aerostructures Pvt. Ltd. (MASPL) has secured a major milestone in its aerospace journey by signing a multi-year contract worth $300 million with Aernnova Aerospace SAU, a global leader in aerostructures. This new agreement significantly deepens the collaboration between the two companies, which began back in 2013, and marks a major step forward in India's role in global aerospace manufacturing.

Under the contract, MASPL will manufacture metal sub-assemblies and components for a wide range of aircraft, including several models from Airbus and Embraer. Notably, this includes parts for Embraer’s C390 Millennium, a military transport aircraft. These components will be delivered to Aernnova’s various production facilities across Spain, the United Kingdom, Portugal, and Brazil, making it a truly global supply effort.

This deal reflects a shared commitment to production efficiency, digital innovation, and sustainability in aerospace manufacturing. Both companies aim to leverage each other’s strengths: Aernnova brings deep experience and global reach, while Mahindra contributes high-end technical capabilities, advanced digital practices, and a strong, growing aerospace infrastructure in India.

Ricardo Chocarro, CEO of Aernnova, emphasized the strategic importance of the deal, noting that Mahindra’s expertise and technology will support production ramp-ups across Aernnova’s programs. He expressed confidence in Mahindra's ability to execute the various work packages with excellence, backed by Aernnova’s technical support.

From Mahindra’s side, the sentiment is equally enthusiastic. Dr. Anish Shah, Group CEO & MD of the Mahindra Group, highlighted that the partnership is part of Mahindra’s broader strategy to scale up its aerospace operations and invest in future growth. Arvind Mehra, CEO of MASPL, called it a defining moment in their long-standing relationship with Aernnova, especially after their acquisition of Hamble Aerostructures in the UK—a former MASPL customer.

Importantly, the contract also unlocks several “Make in India” opportunities, as Mahindra plans to increase investment in local capability and capacity. With a strong emphasis on sustainability, digitization, and operational excellence, the deal is expected to enhance Mahindra’s visibility and credibility as a Tier-1 aerospace supplier on the global stage.

Mahindra Aerostructures operates out of a large facility near Bangalore and holds prestigious industry certifications such as AS9100D and multiple NADCAP approvals. It supplies components to several major aircraft manufacturers and continues to build its reputation for quality and innovation.

Meanwhile, Aernnova remains a powerhouse in the aerospace sector. Headquartered in Spain, the company is a global supplier of aerostructures like wings, fuselages, doors, and stabilizers. It operates engineering and manufacturing sites across six countries and maintains a strong focus on sustainable growth and technological advancement.

This new chapter between Mahindra Aerostructures and Aernnova underscores how global aerospace supply chains are evolving. By combining Indian manufacturing excellence with European aerospace expertise, the partnership is set to make a lasting impact in the industry.
