"More than 67 per cent of the helicopter and aircraft manufacturing for the defence sector is carried out in the state. This is besides being the first state in the country to formulate a dedicated aerospace policy," he explained.Aero India is a biennial air show and aviation exhibition held at the Yelahanka Air Force Station in Bengaluru.The biennial event is jointly organised under the aegis of the Defence Ministry and Indian Air Force.
