The Tata group is leading the 'Make in India' charge in the Defence & Aerospace spaces and is a key private sector player in the industry.
In aerospace, Tata has emerged as a global, single-source supplier for a number of important fixed wing and rotary wing programmes. In the defence domain, as a trusted partner to the Ministry of Defence (MoD), armed forces and Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO), Tata is playing an increasingly important role in defence programmes of strategic importance.
Going forward, the group is focused on: partnering global OEMs for 'Make in India' programmes for fighters, helicopters, transport aircraft and weapon systems and land systems; building unmanned systems; supporting other critical aerospace & defence programs for the Indian defence sector, and setting up world-class aero engine components manufacturing facilities.
