Airbus-Tata Aircraft Manufacturing Facility Likely In Gujarat
India’s first private sector aircraft manufacturing facility and its associated industrial ecosystem are likely to be located at the Dholera Special Investment Region in Gujarat. Dholera is being developed as a prominent node on the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor, about 100 kilometer south west of Ahmedabad.
Airbus is to manufacture 40 C-295 MW military transport in
India in partnership with an Indian consortium led by Tata Advanced Systems
Limited under a $2.8 Billion contract signed with India’s Ministry of Defence
in September 2021. 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.
A concurrent offset contract obligates, Airbus Defence &
Space to source equipment and systems worth 30 percent of the value of the C-295
MW contract from Indian partners. The manufacturing facilities of the Indian
offsets partners are also likely to be co located at Dholera.

India’s Rs 43,000 crore submarine project P-75I faces
multiple delays
The Indian Navy’s wait for six conventional diesel electric
submarines under the project name P-75I, is likely get extended, pushing the
acquisition plans forward by almost a year. The Rs 43,000 project is part of
the 30 year submarine building plan of the government that began in 1999.
The latest delay in Project 75(India) is due to the stringent
deadline put forth in the request for proposal issued by the Ministry of
Defence in July 2021. The government had shortlisted five foreign submarine
makers who were to partner with either one of the two Indian submarine makers
to produce the vessels locally. The government had to push back the bid
submission date from November 2021 to June 2022 after the majority of foreign
participating companies found it difficult to meet the first deadline.
Field evaluation trials of the submarines were expected to
begin in mid April 2022 if the bids come in November itself. Further delay is
expected to happen, as the government is yet to issue approvals to
participating foreign companies. Now the revised schedule for bid submission is
at the end of June 2022. Government approvals for the respective countries have
still not been fully processed and it is still susceptible to some more delays
by a couple of months.
