Indicator Summary

Overview

The number of aviation assets that are officially registered and permitted to operate in India is represented by the total count of air objects registered with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). Aircraft, helicopters, balloons, hang gliders, gliders, motor gliders/power hang gliders, and ultralight aircraft are some of these. Details, including ownership, technical specs, and airworthiness status, are recorded for every registered object.

The size, variety, and capability of a nation’s civil aviation fleet are all reflected in this metric, which makes it significant. Growth in general aviation, commercial aviation, tourism aviation, and recreational flying is indicated by an increase in registration counts. Additionally, it aids regulators in evaluating maintenance infrastructure, oversight requirements, and the operational strain on airspace.

These figures help legislators make decisions about infrastructure growth, training requirements, safety rules, and resource allocation. The data provides information on fleet modernisation, investment trends, and new aviation markets including private aviation and adventure flying to analysts and industry stakeholders. Monitoring these registrations promotes safety monitoring, guarantees openness, and aids in strategic planning for India’s growing aviation industry.
