Boeing has laid off approximately 180 employees at its Engineering and Technology Centre in Bengaluru, Karnataka. This decision is part of a global workforce reduction initiative, according to reports citing sources.
Boeing’s Engineering and Technology Centres in Bengaluru and Chennai focus on advanced aerospace engineering work. The Bengaluru campus, wholly owned by Boeing, is one of the company’s largest investments outside the United States.
These layoffs align with Boeing’s earlier announcement to reduce its global workforce by around 10 percent. In India, the reductions were reportedly carried out cautiously, with an emphasis on maintaining service quality, safety, and operational excellence.
Boeing employs around 7,000 people in India, which remains an important market for the company. The job cuts reportedly occurred during the December quarter of 2024.
While there has been no official statement from Boeing, sources have described the decision as a “strategic adjustment.” The company has assured that these changes will not impact its customers or government operations. While some positions were eliminated, new roles were also created.
India will continue to be a key sourcing hub for Boeing, with the company sourcing approximately $1.25 billion annually from a network of over 300 suppliers. Despite the workforce reduction, Boeing remains committed to prioritizing operational efficiency and customer service.
