"Under the new UDAN scheme for the next two years, there are many new airports coming up across India, and especially in Andhra Pradesh. Here, there is a perfect opportunity from an operational as well as a sustainability standpoint, because Regional Air Mobility (RAM) can actually be one of the strongest accelerators to decarbonize a substantial part of the aviation industry. If you see what is happening globally right now, keeping aside the main routes, in the thin-haul and regional mobility space there is a lot of innovation happening in electric, hybrid, and hydrogen-based technologies." ~ Sudheer Perla, Senior Advisor, District Cooling, United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) at the session on AERO-VALUE 2026: Positioning Andhra Pradesh as India's Next-Gen Aerospace & Aviation Hub at the 31st CII Partnership Summit 2026 held on 12 November in Visakhapatnam #CIIPartnershipSummit2026 #CIIPS2026 @UNEP
"The aviation industry holds tremendous potential, opening up significant opportunities across the sector. To fully realise this potential, India must move up the value chain. While the country has already made strides in manufacturing, the next step is to strengthen its engineering capabilities and develop the capacity to build for global markets. This is an opportunity for us to work together, build expertise and take the industry forward." ~ Murali Krishna Gannamani, Founder, MD & CEO, Fluentgrid, at the session on AERO-VALUE 2026: Positioning Andhra Pradesh as India's Next-Gen Aerospace & Aviation Hub at the 31st CII Partnership Summit 2026 held on 12 November in Visakhapatnam #CIIPartnershipSummit2026 #CIIPS2026 @fluentgrid

To convert this trust into tangible resilience, our two nations are strengthening their commercial and financial ties, and firmly pursuing our shared roadmap. ~ H E U Minn Minn, Deputy Minister for Commerce, Myanmar, at the Special Ministerial Plenary at the 31st CII Partnership Summit 2026, held on 12 November in Visakhapatnam. #CIIPartnershipSummit2026 #CIIPS2026 @IndiainMyanmar
"India's aviation transformation has been remarkable, with aviation infrastructure doubling and annual passenger traffic growing significantly. However, the real achievement goes beyond the growth in numbers; it lies in expanding access to air travel. Although civil aviation was intended to serve the public, access remained limited for many. The government's vision of making air travel more inclusive has helped change this, bringing aviation within reach of a much wider section of the population." ~ Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu, Hon'ble Minister of Civil Aviation, Government of India, at the session on AERO-VALUE 2026: Positioning Andhra Pradesh as India's Next-Gen Aerospace & Aviation Hub at the 31st CII Partnership Summit 2026 #CIIPartnershipSummit2026 #CIIPS2026 @RamMNK @MoCA_GoI
