In 2023, the import of helicopters with an unladen weight not exceeding 2,000 kg to India was approximately at 2.7 units. From the forecasted data, we observe a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing from 2.5 units in 2024 to 1 unit in 2028. The year-on-year percentage variation shows a steady decline, indicating a reduction in imports over this period. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years suggests an average decrease in imports per annum.
Future trends to watch could include Indian manufacturers scaling up production to reduce dependency on imports, changes in government policy aimed at boosting local production, or shifts in demand due to innovations in transportation technology. Additionally, strategic partnerships or investments in the helicopter industry could influence import patterns.
