The CEO of Embraer recently revealed that the company may roll out E175 jets from its assembly line in India as early as 2028.

However, the implementation of this plan is contingent upon receiving at least 200 confirmed orders. The executive pointed out that the enormous potential of the Indian aviation market is a key driver for promoting localized production. The E175 model, as a 70-90 seat regional jet, perfectly matches the development needs of India's regional aviation network. But to achieve large-scale production, sufficient economic benefits must be ensured, making 200 orders the minimum threshold to launch the assembly line. Currently, Embraer is in deep negotiations with several Indian airlines. If the order volume meets the target, India will become the second major production base for the E175 model after Brazil. This arrangement will help the company better serve the South Asian and surrounding markets, while also optimizing the global supply chain configuration.
