"We are thrilled to convene this summit in India to accelerate the development of the aerospace sector, which is critical for meeting objectives of the ‘Make in India' program and harnessing India's full potential for aerospace and defense," said Kumar.

Additional details, including speakers, topics and logistics, will be announced next month.
