Tata Group And Airbus To Manufacture Civilian Helicopters Together

Tata and Airbus are already cooperating to make the C-295 transport aircraft in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state of Gujarat.

Kwatra said during a media briefing on Friday, "Industrial partnership (signed) between Tata and Airbus helicopters for production of H125 helicopters with a significant indigenous and localisation component."

The agreement was also confirmed by Airbus, which said in a statement that the final assembly line (FAL) for helicopters will be set up soon, and the machines produced would also be exported to some of India's neighbouring countries.
