Bengaluru: Pitching for investments to boost the state's growth story, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday urged US aerospace firms to make products and components for domestic and global markets in Karnataka.
"I appeal to this august gathering of industry to invest in the aerospace sector and be part of 'Make in Karnataka'," Siddaramiah said at the US-India aviation summit here.
Noting that Bengaluru was India's aerospace hub with 65 percent of the country's investment in the sector, the chief minister said Karnataka was the first state to have an aerospace policy (2013-2023) to attract investments and new technologies.
"The growth potential of aerospace and defence industry has attracted global majors like Boeing, Honeywell, Airbus, EADS, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls Royce and UTC Aerospace to set up their engineering and design services in this tech hub," Siddaramaiah told at least 300 delegates participating in the three-day event.
