New Delhi: In yet another major announcement for poll-bound Gujarat, the Tata-Airbus facility to manufacture C-295 aircraft will come up at Vadodara. The induction of 56 of these new-generation planes in the 2023-2031 timeframe will boost IAF’s tactical airlift capability along the border with China and in the Andaman Nicobar archipelago.
The first 16 C-295s will be delivered in a flyaway condition by Airbus Defence and Space (Spain) between September 2023 to August 2025 under the Rs 21,935 crore deal inked for 56 such medium-transport aircraft last year. The remaining 40 will be manufactured at the Tata-Airbus consortium facility at Vadodara, the foundation stone for which will be laid by PM Narendra Modi on October 30, defence secretary Ajay Kumar said on Thursday.
