Prime Minister in Vadodara
The Prime Minister will jointly inaugurate the Tata Aircraft Complex for manufacturing C-295 aircraft at the Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) campus along with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. The C-295 project has a total of 56 aircraft, of which 16 will be delivered directly from Spain by Airbus and the remaining 40 will be manufactured in India.
Tata Advanced Systems Ltd. is responsible for manufacturing the 40 aircraft in India. The facility will be India’s first private military aircraft final assembly line (FAL). This involves creating an entire ecosystem from manufacturing to assembly, testing and qualification, delivery and maintenance throughout the aircraft’s life cycle.
Apart from Tata, leading defense public sector units such as Bharat Electronics Ltd and Bharat Power Ltd and private micro, small and medium enterprises will also contribute to the initiative. Earlier in October 2022, the Prime Minister laid the foundation stone of the Vadodara Final Assembly Line (FAL).
