Mahindra Group, Embraer Ink Pact to Promote C-390 Millennium Aircraft in India

Mahindra Group has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Brazilian aerospace company Embraer for its C-390 Millennium military transport aircraft. The partnership builds on a memorandum of understanding signed in February 2024, expanding cooperation to include joint marketing, industrialisation, and developing India as a hub for the aircraft.

Under the agreement, both companies will promote the C-390 Millennium as a contender for the Indian Air Force’s medium transport aircraft programme. They plan to collaborate with local stakeholders to explore opportunities for manufacturing, assembly, supply chain, and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) activities in India. The aircraft is designed to transport cargo and troops and can also conduct airdrops, medical evacuations, and search and rescue missions.
