New Delhi, Oct 16

The US-based aircraft engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney plans to double the $30- million value of its manufacturing and technology business in the country during the next few years, the company President, Mr Steve Finger, said on Tuesday.

“The company sees India as a key growth market. In the next three to five years the value of our manufacturing and technology business would more than double. At present, a majority of the value of India comes from information technology sector but in time to come we feel that the contribution of the aerospace business would increase,” Mr Finger told presspersons.

The P&W engines currently power aircraft operated by both full service airlines like Indian and Kingfisher as also low cost airlines like JetLite and Air Deccan. Besides, the company is also looking at the opportunity of supplying engines to the Indian Air Force apart from examining the possibility of setting up a maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility here.
