Tata Aerospace Systems, a Tata Group company, has already established its unit at the SEZ for manufacturing helicopter cabins with an investment of Rs 1,000 crore. It was during the inauguration of this facility in November last that Ratan Tata announced his group’s proposal for establishing aerospace and defence clusters in Hyderabad.
The three overseas partners with whom the Tatas would collaborate would visit India next month for the Aero Show in Bangalore.
“The Tatas would like to conduct ground-breaking ceremony for the projects during February in the presence of their overseas partners,” said the State government official.
