Boeing lays off 180 employees in India amid global workforce reduction

Boeing has reportedly laid off up to 180 employees at its Boeing India Engineering Technology Center in Bengaluru as part of a global workforce reduction, according to a PTI report citing sources. The aerospace giant, which employs around 7,000 people in India, has been facing multiple global challenges, prompting strategic adjustments.

The layoffs took place during the December 2024 quarter. While the company has not issued an official statement, sources indicate that the reductions were carefully planned to ensure no disruption to customer service or government operations.

Boeing had previously announced a 10% reduction in its global workforce last year. However, in India, the impact has been relatively measured, with a focus on maintaining operational efficiency. While some roles have been eliminated, new positions have also been created, reflecting Boeing’s ongoing commitment to safety, quality, and customer service.
