 United Technologies's global units include jet engine maker Pratt and Whitney, helicopter maker Sikorsky Aircraft, the world's top elevator maker Otis and Carrier Corp, which specialises in air conditioners.

UTC's Otis elevators and Carrier air conditioners are the biggest contributors to UTC's Indian revenues, he said.

A little over a quarter of our Indian revenues were from exported sales to the US and a majority of the Indian revenue was generated from in-country sales, Chenevert said.

Dwelling further on the prospects of growth of Indian market later at a function organised by industry body Ficci, he said the air conditioning  market was expected to double from $1 billion to $2 billion in 2010, a growth of 25% each year.

The refrigeration segment is projected to grow 17% annually from $80 million in 2005 to $180 million in 2010, which represents a great opportunity for Carrier and UTC, he said.

Pratt and Whitney accounted for about a fifth of India's 600 installed commercial engine base and with the rapid air traffic growth, India is a promising market for new engine sales as well as maintenance and overhaul opportunities, he said.
