RTX Corporation (formerly Raytheon Technologies), a global leader in aerospace and defense, has announced plans to expand its workforce in India by 14% over the next three years. This strategic move reflects RTX’s growing focus on India as a key hub for innovation, engineering, and manufacturing in the aerospace and defense sectors.
The expansion aligns with RTX’s goal to leverage India’s highly skilled talent pool to support its global operations in areas such as advanced avionics, artificial intelligence, systems integration, and defense solutions. The company already has a significant presence in India, with partnerships across private and public sectors, including collaborations with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL).
India’s emphasis on ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ (Self-Reliant India) and its increasing defense budgets make the country an attractive destination for RTX to invest in R&D and production capabilities. The expansion will also focus on strengthening RTX’s contributions to ongoing projects like advanced radar systems, missile technologies, and sustainable aerospace solutions.
The planned workforce increase is expected to create opportunities in engineering, research, and technology development while contributing to India’s growing aerospace and defense ecosystem. RTX’s move underscores its long-term commitment to India as a strategic partner and its role in fostering innovation and self-reliance in the sector.
