Wessling/Bangalore – February 10, 2025 – Dynamatic Technologies Limited, South Asia’s leading aerostructure manufacturer, has partnered with Deutsche Aircraft, a regional aircraft OEM, at Aero India 2025 in Bangalore, one of India’s premier airshows. Dynamatic is hosting the Deutsche Aircraft team at chalet number 40, marking a significant step in the aviation sector and supporting the “Make in India” initiative.
As India evolves into a major hub for regional aviation, Deutsche Aircraft is advancing its D328eco®, a 40-seat turboprop aircraft designed to enhance connectivity, sustainability, and economic efficiency. The D328eco features a fuel-efficient engine and state-of-the-art avionics, aligning perfectly with India’s UDAN scheme, which promotes connectivity to Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. In addition, the aircraft’s versatile design allows it to serve various roles, including passenger transport, cargo, and specialized mission operations. Through collaboration with Dynamatic Technologies, Deutsche Aircraft is strengthening its supply chain resilience while reinforcing its commitment to the Indian aviation sector. The D328eco is poised to revolutionize regional air travel worldwide, offering a spacious interior and exceptional performance capabilities, along with outstanding design and operational adaptability.
Last year, the two companies entered a strategic partnership to manufacture the rear fuselage of the D328eco. This collaboration aims to establish a robust ecosystem in India, creating valuable employment opportunities for the local industry. Progress in rear fuselage production indicates that the project is on track, capitalizing on a successful design and production ecosystem in India. The Dynamatic team and Deutsche Aircraft recently reached a key milestone in their partnership with the successful completion of the critical process review and tooling critical design review. This collaboration is essential to the overall success of the D328eco aircraft programme. Both companies are committed to ensuring the success of their partnership and the future of the D328eco. As they work together, they strive to provide a product that meets the needs of regional air travel while adhering to sustainability goals.
Udayant Malhoutra, CEO and Managing Director of Dynamatic Technologies Limited, stated, “The D328eco, with its cutting-edge fuel efficiency and reduced carbon footprint, will be the preferred choice for regional airliners worldwide. Dynamatic Technologies, responsible for manufacturing the rear fuselage, showcases India’s aerospace capabilities on a global scale through world-class engineering and precision manufacturing. This initiative has strengthened the ‘Make in India’ movement, generating high-skilled jobs and fostering a thriving aerospace ecosystem in the country.”
Nico Neumann, Co-CEO of Deutsche Aircraft, remarked, “The D328eco is a testament to the power of global collaboration in advancing sustainable aviation. Our partnership with Dynamatic Technologies highlights India’s growing role in high-end aerospace manufacturing. By leveraging world-class engineering and precision manufacturing in India, we are not only reducing the carbon footprint of regional aviation but also contributing to the ‘Make in India’ initiative—creating high-skilled jobs and strengthening the country’s aerospace ecosystem.”
Dynamatic Technologies and Deutsche Aircraft invite attendees at Aero India 2025 to visit chalet number 40 to learn more about this exciting partnership and the future of the D328eco regional turboprop.
