For three projects, including maintenance and repair, Air India and Tata Advanced Systems will invest Rs 2300 crore in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Bengaluru was picked in spite of a letter Nitin Gadkari sent to Tata Sons proposing an investment in MIHAN. Despite MIHAN's central location, there are concerns about the lack of interest from firms.

With a taxiway ready to connect the airport to the MRO, Nagpur claims the only SEZ connected to an airport. The MRO taxiway isn't yet a part of the operational area, therefore planes must be towed, taking six hours for security procedures.

This is one way that safety standards neglect impedes progress. This might be cut down to just fifteen minutes if power-taxing becomes possible more quickly. 

Businesses have chosen other states over Mihan, including the well-known French company Safran Aircraft Engine, which is looking into possibilities in Hyderabad.

During the recent AAR-Indamer inauguration in MIHAN-SEZ, Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia emphasized the need of domestic aircraft maintenance. Mihan's attractive aerospace sector may draw in additional investors if procedures are streamlined and safety regulations are upheld.
