Bharat Forge Limited has inaugurated a new landing gear components machining facility in Mundhwa, Pune, marking a key development for India’s aerospace manufacturing capabilities. The facility has been established in collaboration with Liebherr-Aerospace & Transportation SAS and is designed to produce high-precision landing gear components for global aviation programs.
The newly launched facility places Bharat Forge among the first companies in India to operate OEM-approved landing gear components machining capabilities at scale. The unit integrates advanced machining centres specifically built for manufacturing highly precise landing-gear parts used in both civil and military aircraft.
Located in Pune, the facility strengthens Bharat Forge’s growing aerospace manufacturing footprint and supports the expansion of India’s role in global aerospace supply chains. The development is expected to enhance the country’s capability to manufacture complex aviation components domestically while supporting international aircraft programs.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by senior executives from Liebherr-Aerospace, including Martin Wandel, Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer at Liebherr-Aerospace & Transportation SAS; Philipp Walter, Managing Director at Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH; and Bernd Schacherl, Director Procurement at Liebherr-Aerospace & Transportation SAS.

With the launch of this facility, Bharat Forge now operates a full-stack aerospace manufacturing portfolio that includes aero-engine components, airframe structures, and landing-gear sub-systems. The company manufactures turbine and compressor parts, forged rings, shafts, and discs, as well as structural components and landing-gear elements for aerospace applications.
he company is also establishing an advanced aerospace ring mill in India to produce high-value forged rings for aero-engine programs. This initiative is aimed at strengthening domestic aerospace manufacturing capabilities and supporting the requirements of global aviation manufacturers.
