Our 'Make in India' journey is far from complete: Boeing on expansion plans

Issued after the interview, the India-US joint statement from PM Modi's visit to Washington states that both countries expect the procurement of six more Boeing P-8I aircraft to be completed this year

American aerospace giant Boeing has expanded its annual sourcing from India to $1.25 billion, a five-fold increase from $250 million a decade ago. While the India-US joint statement issued on Thursday stated that both countries expect to complete the procurement of six additional Boeing P-8I aircraft for the Indian Navy this year, the company’s focus during the Tuesday interview was on securing long-term logistics contracts in India.
