To co-produce aerostructures and pursue integrated systems development opportunities

"Over the last 12 months, we have doubled our sourcing from India and are committed to continue that journey," said Pratyush Kumar, president, Boeing India. "Our commitment was demonstrated by Boeing Chairman Jim McNerney's presence at the recently concluded aerospace Innovation Summit in New Delhi and this JV is a clear example of Boeing's long-term commitment to Make in India."

"TASL is one of the select few in the private sector in India undertaking manufacturing and assembly of both aircraft and helicopters. The resulting scale and expertise at which the company now operates makes it well-positioned for large-scale systems integration work in India's aerospace and defense sector," said Sukaran Singh, MD & CEO, Tata Advanced Systems.

Boeing and Tata group companies have established partnerships in India to manufacture aerostructures for Boeing's commercial and military aircraft. Tata Advanced Materials has delivered composite panels for the power and mission equipment cabinets and auxiliary power unit door fairings for the P-8I long-range maritime surveillance and anti-submarine warfare aircraft.
