Environmental sustainability is an important consideration in the Indian aerospace industry, driven by concerns about climate change, air quality, and natural resource conservation. Efforts are underway to reduce the environmental impact of aviation, including the development of more fuel-efficient aircraft designs, advanced propulsion systems such as electric and hybrid-electric propulsion, and the use of sustainable aviation fuels derived from renewable sources. Additionally, noise pollution from aircraft operations is being addressed through the implementation of quieter engine technologies and improved flight procedures.
Research and development initiatives focus on optimizing aircraft performance, reducing carbon emissions, and minimizing the environmental footprint of aerospace operations. Collaboration between government agencies, industry stakeholders, and research institutions is essential to achieving environmental sustainability goals while ensuring continued growth and competitiveness in the Indian aerospace industry.
