Mahindra Aero to roll out first aircraft this year

Mahindra Aerospace, the first Indian private firm to manufacture small civil aircraft for the domestic aviation market, is likely to roll out its first aircraft by March this year. “We are hopeful of rolling out our first indigenous small aircraft by March this year. But we should make sure that the aircraft is properly certified for airworthiness standards,” Mahindra & Mahindra’s president (Systech Sector), Hemant Luthra, said . “We will provide the aircraft at a price at least 20% lesser than a Cessna aircraft,” Mr Luthra said.
