Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) is expanding its operations in Karnataka with plans to set up a maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility for the Indian Air Force’s Lockheed Martin C-130J transport aircraft.
The company stated that this facility will contribute to India’s aerospace and defence sector by providing in-country maintenance capabilities for the aircraft.
TASL cited Karnataka’s infrastructure, workforce, and government policies as factors supporting its investment decision. The company also noted that the state continues to attract aerospace and defence investments due to its research ecosystem and talent pool.
The planned MRO facility is part of TASL’s broader expansion in Karnataka, aimed at supporting domestic and global aerospace requirements.
