The [[Indian Air Force]] currently operates seven [[Command (military formation)|Air Commands]]. Each command is headed by an [[Air Officer Commanding|Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief]] of the rank of [[Air Marshal]].

The Air Force currently has over 60 air stations all over [[India]]. These are grouped into seven commands: Western Air Command at [[New Delhi]], Eastern Air Command at [[Shillong]], Central Air Command at [[Prayagraj]], Southern Air Command at [[Thiruvananthapuram]] (Trivandrum), South Western Air Command at [[Gandhinagar]], Training Command at [[Bangalore]] and Maintenance Command at [[Nagpur]]. The largest airbase is in Gujarat.

There are a number of newer air stations being built as well, in line with India's strategic doctrine. The [[Indian Navy]] has some separate air stations for its aviation wing.

Western Air Command is the largest Air Command. It operates sixteen air stations from [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu & Kashmir]], [[Punjab]], [[Haryana]], [[Himachal Pradesh]] and a couple of Air stations in [[Uttar Pradesh]]. Eastern Air Command operates fifteen air stations in eastern and north-eastern India. Central Air Command operates two air stations in [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[Madhya Pradesh]] and surrounding states of central India. Southern Air Command's tasks include protecting the vital shipping routes. It operates nine air stations in [[Southern India]] and two in the [[Andaman and Nicobar Islands]]. South Western Air Command is the front line of defence against Pakistan. This important command operates twelve air stations in [[Gujarat]], [[Maharashtra]] and [[Rajasthan]].
