India’s Mahindra Aerospace inaugurated a 270,000-sq-ft aerostructures manufacturing plant last week at the Narsapura Industrial Estate near Bangalore. The plant opening accompanied an announcement by Mahindra that it signed a technology partnership agreement with Spanish Tier 1 supplier Aernnova Group, the first for Aernnova with an Indian aerostructures manufacturer.
The facility can make large, complex sheet-metal parts using CNC routing, stretch-forming, bladder press, heat treatment and other specialized equipment. The plant also features five-axis CNC machining, a fully automated surface treatment line, priming and painting capabilities for parts and assemblies and nearly 110,000 sq ft of space for the manufacture of major airframe assemblies and subassemblies.
The new plant cost about $25 million to build and carries the capacity to yield about $40 million in revenue per year at peak capacity. The company first plans to make small parts and subassemblies, then gradually advance to larger, more complex assemblies.
