Bharat Forge Signs Long-Term Deal with Embraer, Becomes First Indian Forging Supplier in Its Global Aerospace Chaint
Bharat Forge Limited has signed a long-term supply agreement with Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer, making it the first Indian company ever to enter Embraer's global aerospace supply chain as a forged component supplier. The deal covers the manufacturing and supply of critical landing gear forgings for Embraer's commercial and defence aircraft platforms, marking a landmark moment for India's rapidly maturing aerospace manufacturing sector. Under the terms of the agreement, Bharat Forge will produce high-integrity forged components used specifically in landing gear systems — structures that rank among the most mechanically demanding and safety-critical assemblies on any aircraft. Landing gear forgings must endure extreme cyclical loads, high-impact stresses, and must perform flawlessly across thousands of flight cycles, all under the most stringent international aerospace safety certifications. Meeting these requirements calls for advanced metallurgical know-how, precision engineering at scale, and uncompromising adherence to global quality standards — capabilities that Bharat Forge has spent decades cultivating. For Bharat Forge, the Embraer agreement is a validation of its growing stature as a globally trusted supplier of complex, mission-critical aerospace components. The Pune-headquartered company has been steadily building its aerospace credentials through investments in cutting-edge manufacturing technologies, rigorous process controls, and strategic partnerships with leading original equipment manufacturers and Tier-1 suppliers worldwide. This latest contract deepens that trajectory, anchoring the company within one of the world's most respected commercial and defence aviation supply chains. Amit B Kalyani, Vice Chairman and Joint Managing Director of Bharat Forge Limited, described the development as a proud achievement — not just for the company, but for the Indian aerospace manufacturing industry as a whole. He emphasized that earning a place in Embraer's supply chain as its first Indian forging partner is a direct reflection of the engineering depth and manufacturing excellence that Bharat Forge has built over the years in the aerospace domain. Kalyani also pointed to the broader strategic value of the collaboration. He noted that the partnership will help the company further scale its capabilities in structural aerospace components, building on the strong foundation it has already established in aero engine component manufacturing.
