V2500-E5 turbofan engine (complete unit)
The V2500-E5 is the C-390 engine. IAE is a multi-national consortium with no Indian member. Engine MRO and component manufacturing require long-cycle capability building. The V2500 commercial variant (A320 family) gives India access to a global MRO ecosystem that could anchor Indian V2500-E5 MRO development.
