Tata Group, India’s largest conglomerate, is gearing to build a military aircraft in a boost to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mission of supporting local defense capabilities and reducing dependence on costly imports.
Closely-held Tata Advanced Systems Ltd. will “showcase its capabilities in high-altitude twin engine aircraft” for military use in a defense expo in Bengaluru this week, a company spokesperson said in an email Tuesday, without sharing further details. The Economic Times reported earlier that the Tata firm had acquired the necessary intellectual property rights from a German-origin platform.
