Embraer and Adani reported exploring a civil-aircraft assembly line, Dholera among candidate sites

Embraer and Adani signed a memorandum of understanding, reported in July 2026, to explore a Make in India civil-aircraft final assembly line targeted around 2028, with Dholera airport among the sites under evaluation and no site finalised.

Carried by credible news outlets. No official document confirms it yet.

This is an MoU-stage exploration, not a committed project. If Dholera is chosen, it would put an aircraft assembly line beside the aviation and defence sectors already zoned in the SIR's official sector plan.
