Visakhapatnam: The region with a large base of academic institutions and industries in leading-edge technologies is well suited to become a centre for aeronautic and defence industry.
The highly skilled workforce available in the region makes it most conducive for building an industrial eco-system for aeronautic and defence industry, former Programme Director, Light Combat Aircraft, Kota Harinarayana, told The Hindu .
Hyderabad in Telangana has emerged as a commercial aeronautical manufacturing hub thanks to the anchor investment by Tata Advanced Systems Limited. The TAS started with assembly of cabins for the Sikorsky helicopter. Today the operation is not only assembling cabins but also producing all the parts needed for the assembly.
The new Civil Aviation Policy is set to open up opportunity for maintenance, repair and overhaul of aircraft.
