Boeing to expand presence in India

Boeing is planning to strengthen its presence in India through new product offerings in both defence and commercial aircraft.

"Boeing is actively developing important, integrated relationships with the Indian industry to strengthen its presence across both defence and commercial sectors," Boeing chairman and CEO Jim McNerney said in a statement.

Boeing received the Global Vision Award from the US-India Business Council in Washington yesterday.

McNerney said the award was a "testament" to the expanding partnership between India and Boeing. "We are committed to responding to India's needs and contributing to its growing success through our product offerings, services, and industrial and academic partnership," he said.
