7th AeroDef India Manufacturing Expo 2027

India’s aerospace and defence manufacturing sector is entering an exciting phase. From indigenous defence production and advanced aircraft manufacturing to AI-driven factories, robotics, additive manufacturing and next-generation materials, technology is changing the way the industry designs, builds and delivers critical systems.

At the centre of this transformation is AeroDef India 2027—a premier exhibition and conference bringing together the people, technologies and organisations shaping the future of aerospace and defence manufacturing.

A Meeting Point for the Aerospace & Defence Industry

AeroDef India is designed to bring the entire manufacturing ecosystem together under one roof. The event connects OEMs, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, defence manufacturers, technology companies, government organisations, startups, researchers and industry experts.

For businesses, it offers an opportunity to discover new customers, suppliers and partners. For technology providers, it provides a platform to demonstrate solutions directly to industry decision-makers. And for professionals, it offers a chance to understand where the sector is heading and what technologies will define its next chapter.

The focus goes beyond products on display. AeroDef India is about business connections, knowledge sharing and real-world technology adoption.

From Advanced Manufacturing to Smart Factories

Modern aerospace and defence manufacturing demands exceptional levels of precision, reliability and efficiency. As manufacturers respond to these demands, technologies such as AI, IoT, digital twins, CAD/CAM, PLM, simulation, robotics, automation and additive manufacturing are becoming increasingly important.

AeroDef India provides visitors with the opportunity to see these technologies in action through its exhibition and live demonstrations.

The event will showcase solutions across advanced manufacturing, precision engineering, tooling, automation, materials and composites, aviation MRO, space technology and digital manufacturing.

Where Industry Leaders Share Their Ideas

Technology is only one part of the transformation. The industry also needs conversations around policy, investment, supply chains, skills, indigenous manufacturing and global competitiveness.

The AeroDef India conference brings together industry leaders, policymakers, technology experts and other key stakeholders to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing aerospace and defence manufacturing.

Through keynote sessions, panel discussions and expert-led conversations, attendees can gain perspectives on emerging technologies, changing market dynamics and the future of manufacturing in India.

Connecting Buyers, Suppliers and Partners

One of the biggest advantages of a focused industry exhibition is the opportunity to meet the right people.

AeroDef India facilitates B2B meetings and networking opportunities between OEMs, suppliers, defence contractors, technology providers and government organisations.

For manufacturers looking to enter new supply chains, technology companies seeking industry partnerships, or established businesses exploring new markets, these interactions can open the door to meaningful commercial opportunities.

Strong Government and Defence Participation

India’s aerospace and defence manufacturing ambitions involve close collaboration between industry and the public sector.

AeroDef India provides an important platform for interaction with stakeholders from organisations and institutions including DRDO, HAL, ISRO, the Ministry of Defence, Indian Air Force, Indian Navy and industry associations.

Their participation adds an important dimension to the event, giving industry professionals an opportunity to understand developments in defence production, technology adoption and India's broader manufacturing ecosystem.

A Broad Spectrum of Industry Sectors

AeroDef India reflects the diversity of today's aerospace and defence manufacturing landscape.

The event will cover aerospace and defence manufacturing, aviation MRO and components, advanced manufacturing technologies, precision engineering, tooling, robotics, automation, space and satellite technology, materials, composites and additive manufacturing.

This broad sector representation makes the event relevant to professionals across the entire value chain—from design and engineering through production, integration, maintenance and technology development.

Building on a Strong 2026 Edition

The momentum behind AeroDef India was clearly visible during its 2026 edition.

The event brought together 180+ exhibitors and more than 9,850 industry visitors, with participation from leading organisations including HAL, DRDO, ISRO, BEL, BEML, Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, Tata Advanced Systems and L&T Defence.

The edition also delivered strong business outcomes, with 95% of exhibitors reporting successful business leads, while 85% of attendees were decision-makers or key influencers.

These results provide a strong foundation for the 2027 edition and reflect the growing demand for a dedicated platform focused on aerospace and defence manufacturing.
