What Is the Policy?

The Uttar Pradesh Aircraft Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) Policy, 2022 covers airframe, engine, and component MRO facilities, hangars, line maintenance stations, and associated training. It is administered by the Civil Aviation Department. Indian carriers currently send a large share of MRO work abroad, and the state is positioning around its expanding airport network to capture that work.
