GE Aerospace to Invest over Rs 240 crore in Expanding its Manufacturing Facility at Pune in 2024

Soon to get launched as a standalone company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, GE Aerospace has announced an investment of over Rupees 240 crore (~USD 30 million) to expand and upgrade its manufacturing facility in Pune.

The investment will allow the facility to add new projects and manufacturing processes by acquiring machines/equipment and specialized tools along with capacity enhancement of existing products.

The team at the Multi-modal Manufacturing facility in Pune has a strong focus on safety, quality and delivery for the customers.

Inaugurated by Prime Minister Modi in February 2015, the factory produces components for commercial jet engines. These are supplied to GE’s global factories where they are used to assemble G90, GEnx, GE 9X, which is the world’s most powerful commercial jet engine, and the LEAP engines by CFM, a GE and Safran joint venture. The facility has been instrumental in developing local aerospace manufacturing talent having trained over 5000 people since inception in specialized aerospace precision manufacturing processes.

Certified under ISO14001 & ISO45001, the facility has built environmental best practices and stewardship in the community. For example, 30% of its power consumption comes from renewable sources, it has zero liquid discharge, recycles and reuses 1 crore litres of water(100 million litres) every year and recycling 20 metric tons of plastic.
