TATA-Airbus Deal

Last year, in August India received a major boost to its aviation sector after the Cabinet Committee on Security chaired by PM Narendra Modi has approved the Tata-Airbus deal for 56 twin-turboprop C-295 medium transport aircraft, which will replace the old Avro-748 aircraft of the IAF. The process to replace the ageing fleet of 50 HS-748 Avro aircraft began nearly nine years ago when on July 24, 2012, a Request for Information (RFI) for 56 transport aircraft was issued. The HS-748 Avro fleet has been in service with the IAF since the early 1960s and was much overdue for the replacement.

Role of Tata in the Aerospace Manufacturing

The most important part of this deal valued at $2.4 billion is that the public sector company HAL has been excluded with an objective to promote the private sectors in the field of Aerospace engineering. This will be the first full spectrum ‘Make in India’ aerospace programme in the private sector involving development of a complete industrial ecosystem from manufacture to assembly, test and qualification to delivery and maintenance over the complete life cycle of the aircraft.

Company to be its partner in the C295 project, appears to be the right one.

Airbus-Tata Aircraft Manufacturing Facility Likely In Gujarat

As per the TATA-Airbus deal, 16 of the 56 C295 aircrafts will be delivered in flyaway condition from Spain within 48 months of signing of the contract and 40 aircrafts will be manufactured in India by TATA Consortium within ten years of signing of the contract. The new manufacturing facility of TATA is likely to be co-located at Dholera.

Dholera International Airport is a greenfield airport project in Gujarat, India. It will be built near Navagam in the Dholera taluka of Ahmedabad district. The project site is spread over 1,426 hectares and about 80 kilometers from Ahmedabad and around 20 kilometres from the Dholera Special Investment Region (DSIR). The Gujarat government has planned to develop land close to proposed Dholera International Airport airport for MRO and Aviation related other facilities. MRO stands for Maintenance, Repair and Overhauling. It’s not only the TATA-Airbus manufacturing unit that will be setup here but the Aviation Zone in Dholera will include an aviation academy, flight training institute and MRO facilities for airframes, engines and C&D checks. The Dholera airport will have two runways of 4,000 metres and 2,910 metres. These would be essential to the flight-testing facility for the Airbus-Tata complex. After completion of the delivery, the subsequent aircraft manufactured in India can be exported to countries which are cleared by the Government of India.
