Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared a lighthearted moment with Safran Chairman Ross McInnes during the inauguration of the company's Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul facility in Hyderabad. McInnes jokingly said, "I was born in India. So I'm 'Made in India' too," making PM Modi laugh. The MRO facility will service LEAP engines for A320 and B737 aircraft, while another facility for M88 engines powering Rafale jets will also be established. Both facilities, operational by 2026, will boost India's indigenous aviation capabilities. Modi highlighted India as a "trusted partner" with rapid growth, stable government, and vast talent pool. Safran has operated in India for 70+ years.
