International Aerospace Manufacturing Pvt Ltd (IAMPL), a joint venture between Rolls-Royce and Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL), is actively exploring opportunities to expand its manufacturing operations in Tamil Nadu.
This strategic move comes as the company seeks to leverage the region's favorable business environment and skilled workforce.
Kishore Jayaraman, president of Rolls-Royce - India and South Asia, highlighted the advantages of operating in Tamil Nadu, citing factors such as robust infrastructure, availability of skilled labor, strong academic institutions, and effective governance.
The existing IAMPL facility in Hosur is already a testament to the success of this partnership, producing complex components for both civil and defense aero-engines. These components are currently being exported to major markets such as the UK and Germany.
The potential expansion could see the establishment of four or five new manufacturing units, either in Hosur or other suitable locations within the state. Such a development would not only bolster Tamil Nadu's aerospace sector but also create substantial employment opportunities.
Jayaraman emphasized IAMPL's commitment to operational excellence and its dedication to harnessing the strengths of India's supply chain. He envisions the company as a leading contributor to the global aerospace ecosystem, providing high-quality products and services.
The International Aerospace Manufacturing Pvt Ltd (IAMPL) is a significant player in the Indian aerospace industry, specializing in the production of critical aero-engine components. The company's partnership with the Tamil Nadu Technology Hub (iTNT hub) has played a pivotal role in its growth and expansion plans.
This announcement aligns with the broader trend of international aerospace companies investing in India's manufacturing capabilities. As the Indian aerospace sector continues to evolve, collaborations like the one between Rolls-Royce and HAL are expected to drive innovation and contribute to the country's economic development.
