Bengaluru: Boeing has laid off up to 180 employees at its Engineering Technology Center in Bengaluru as part of a global workforce reduction, according to a source familiar with the development. The move comes amid broader challenges faced by the US aircraft manufacturer, which had announced a 10% reduction in its global workforce last year.
The Boeing India Engineering & Technology Center (BIETC), with facilities in Bengaluru and Chennai, plays a crucial role in advanced aerospace work. The Bengaluru centre is one of Boeing’s largest investments outside the US. The company also sources approximately $1.25 billion worth of components from over 300 suppliers across India annually.
Boeing, which employs around 7,000 people in India, has not issued an official statement on the layoffs. The source indicated that the cuts were made strategically, ensuring no disruption to customer service or government operations. While some roles were eliminated, new positions were also created, with the company maintaining a measured approach to workforce adjustments in India.

Assam Police at Pawan Khera's residence in national capital, Delhi Police assisting
New Delhi (PTI): An Assam Police team on Tuesday is at the Delhi residence of Congress leader Pawan Khera for questioning in connection with a case linked to allegations made against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his family, official sources said.
The team formally informed Delhi Police upon arrival, following which a local police team joined and is assisting in the proceedings, the source said.
The development comes amid a political tussle after Sarma alleged that the Congress used "false information" sourced from a Pakistani social media group to level charges against his wife regarding multiple passports and overseas assets. He termed the allegations an attempt to influence the Assam elections and a punishable offence.
Khera had recently sought clarifications on Sarma's wife's alleged foreign assets, prompting a complaint and subsequent police action.
