Dynamatic Technologies Limited and Deutsche Aircraft have opened a rear fuselage assembly line for the 40-seater D328eco® turboprop aircraft at their Bengaluru facility. The move marks the transition from collaborative design and development to serial production, highlighting India’s growing role in the global aerospace supply chain.

Dynamatic Technologies Limited and Deutsche Aircraft have officially opened the rear fuselage assembly line for the 40-seater D328eco® turboprop aircraft at Dynamatic’s advanced aerospace facility in Bengaluru. The inauguration marks the transition from collaborative design and development to serial production, highlighting India’s growing role in the global aerospace supply chain. The programme stems from a strategic partnership established in 2024 and further strengthened at Aero India 2025, reaffirming both companies’ commitment to innovation and green aviation.

Tobias Gotthardt, State Secretary of the Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy, inaugurated the assembly line in the presence of Nico Neumann, Co-CEO of Deutsche Aircraft, and Udayant Malhoutra, CEO and Managing Director of Dynamatic Technologies.

Gotthardt described the partnership as a model of innovation, sustainability, and international cooperation. Neumann emphasised the project’s role in strengthening the global supply chain and supporting sustainable aviation, particularly in connection with India’s UDAN regional connectivity initiative. Malhoutra highlighted the alignment with the ‘Make in India’ initiative and reaffirmed Dynamatic’s capabilities in precision aerospace manufacturing.

The dedicated assembly line will produce rear fuselage components for the D328eco®, reinforcing India’s position as a reliable manufacturing hub for high-performance aircraft structures. Developed by Deutsche Aircraft, the D328eco® is designed for efficient, low-emission regional transport and incorporates advanced technologies to meet future sustainability standards.

The initiative also promotes technology transfer, high-skilled employment, and talent development, further integrating Indian manufacturing into the global aerospace ecosystem. With serial production now underway, the Bengaluru facility is set to play a crucial role in the D328eco® programme and may open doors to future expansion and deeper collaboration in the aerospace sector.
