TATA Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) inaugurated a new manufacturing facility for composite structures on 27 November 2025 in the Jigani industrial area of Bangalore. The unit has been established to produce composite assemblies for the Airbus A330 and C-295 aircraft, marking an expansion of TASL’s aerospace production capabilities.
The facility is designed to supply composite components for Airbus platforms and is intended to strengthen India’s industrial base in high-precision aero-structures. Olivier Cauquil, Head of Procurement for Aero-Structures at Airbus, was present at the inauguration.
The new unit adds capacity to TASL’s composites operations in Bangalore and Nagpur, where the company carries out production for several Boeing programmes, including assemblies for the 737 MAX, 777X and 787 aircraft. The expanded footprint enables TASL to handle a broader range of composite work packages across civil and defence aerospace.
The development aligns with TASL’s increasing involvement in the C-295 transport aircraft initiative, under which 40 aircraft are being assembled in Vadodara for the Indian Air Force. Composite structures from the Bangalore plant are expected to complement work undertaken at the final assembly line, particularly for major structural elements.
TASL is also pursuing its plan to assemble the Airbus H125 helicopter in Karnataka. The addition of composite manufacturing alongside helicopter assembly is expected to deepen the company’s participation in Airbus-related production and support both domestic programmes and export opportunities.
The facility is expected to create employment, support workforce training and incorporate advanced processes used in composite manufacturing. TASL anticipates that integration with global aerospace supply chains will contribute to production growth as operations mature.
TATA Advanced Systems Limited is the aerospace and defence manufacturing arm of the TATA Group, with operations spanning aero-structures, aircraft assembly, defence equipment, unmanned systems and radome production.
