The proposed facility aims to serve both military <\/strong>and civil <\/strong>aircraft. Dassault also plans to create a Centre of Excellence<\/strong> to provide aviation-related education and apprenticeship opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We will evaluate the proposal and have initiated communication with Dassault to assess their land requirements.”<\/p> Arun Vir Singh, CEO, YEIDA<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dassault plans to set up the MRO facility<\/a> within a 1,365-hectare area designated for the second phase of the Noida International Airport (DXN) project. This area has been earmarked for an aviation hub that includes the planned Centre of Excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The French company intends to establish a skill development centre in Uttar Pradesh<\/strong>, working with the ministries of skill development and defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“They plan to set up a civil and military MRO. They plan to offer an aeronautical syllabus at the high school, intermediate level and the graduation level, skilled diplomas of two to three years,” Singh explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dassault aims to create a dedicated skill university focused on MRO operations. The trained professionals from this institution would then work at their MRO facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing Market <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to studies cited by YEIDA officials, India’s MRO industry was valued at $1.7 billion<\/strong> in 2021 and is projected to reach $7 billion by 2030.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Uttar Pradesh government has introduced specific policies to attract MRO businesses, offering subsidies and streamlined processes for establishing such facilities in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
