Nagpur: After announcing plans with a big bang in August regarding setting up an aerospace park in Mihan-SEZ at an investment of Rs6,500 crore, the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG) has cut its land requirement to less than half of what was originally projected. Instead of 289 acres allotted to it by Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC), ADAG now wants only 104 acres.
ADAG had announced that the proposed Dhirubhai Ambani Aerospace Park will be an integrated facility in the aviation sector. From making spares for both civil and military planes, there are plans to ultimately manufacture fixed wing aircraft. ADAG's group company Reliance Defence is reported to have been chosen by Russia to manufacture Kamov 226 twin engine helicopters in India. India had approved a government-to-government deal to buy 200 Kamov choppers for the army, with ADAG making the choppers at the Mihan unit.
The state government wooed ADAG to start its unit at Mihan. The whole process of allotting land was completed in a record time of 69 days.
