Gandhinagar, Gujarat30 Jun 2026

IFSCA’s quarterly bulletin reported that as of June 2026, 237 aircraft had been leased from GIFT City, up from 17 aircraft in December 2023. The bulletin also reported leasing of 87 engines, 85 auxiliary power units, one aviation training simulation device and two landing gears, with about 37 aircraft leasing entities operating from GIFT City as of June 2026.

Why it matters

More aircraft leasing being executed through GIFT City indicates growing onshore leasing capability that could reduce reliance on overseas leasing centres for Indian airline fleets.
