Bharat Forge Limited has announced the signing of a long-term agreement with Embraer for the manufacturing and supply of critical landing gear forgings for the aircraft maker’s commercial and defence platforms. With this development, Bharat Forge becomes the first Indian company to join Embraer’s global aerospace supply chain for forged components, marking an important milestone for India’s growing aerospace manufacturing sector.
Under the agreement, Bharat Forge will manufacture high-integrity forged parts used in landing gear systems, among the most demanding and safety-sensitive structures in an aircraft. These components are engineered to operate under extreme pressure and stringent safety conditions, requiring exceptional metallurgical expertise, precision engineering capabilities and adherence to rigorous international aerospace standards.
The partnership highlights Bharat Forge’s expanding presence in the global aerospace ecosystem and reinforces its credentials as a reliable supplier of complex, mission-critical components for international original equipment manufacturers. The long-term arrangement also reflects the shared commitment of both companies toward quality, operational reliability and sustained industrial collaboration.
Commenting on the development, Amit B Kalyani, Vice Chairman and Joint Managing Director of Bharat Forge Limited, said the agreement represents a proud achievement for the company and the Indian aerospace manufacturing industry. He noted that becoming Embraer’s first Indian forging supplier demonstrates the engineering capabilities and manufacturing strengths developed by Bharat Forge over the years in the aerospace segment.
He further added that the collaboration would help scale up the company’s capabilities in structural aerospace components while complementing the growth already achieved in aero engine component manufacturing. According to him, the agreement also opens new opportunities for Bharat Forge to deepen its engagement with global aerospace leaders and contribute to next-generation aviation programs.
The contract is also significant for Embraer as it marks the first time the aircraft manufacturer has signed such an agreement with an Indian forging company. The development aligns with Embraer’s broader strategy of strengthening industrial partnerships in India while supporting the expansion of the country’s aerospace and defence manufacturing ecosystem.
Embraer has been steadily increasing its engagement with Indian industry stakeholders and government agencies as it explores long-term opportunities across commercial aviation, defence and supply chain localisation. The agreement with Bharat Forge is expected to support these objectives while creating long-term value through technology-driven manufacturing collaboration.
