Airbus and Tata Advanced Systems Ltd. will establish a helicopter assembly facility for H125 helicopters in Kolar, Karnataka, making it the first privately led facility of its kind in India.
The Airbus H125 is a single-engine, light utility helicopter falling under Airbus’ Ecureuil category, with the facility starting its operations with an initial order of 500 helicopters.
The establishment is expected to create new job opportunities, enhance manufacturing capabilities, and bolster Karnataka's position in advanced technology and defence production.
Tata Advanced Systems Ltd. had recently acquired a plot in Karnataka for aircraft manufacturing and assembly line, including Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul facilities.
