Tata Advanced Systems Limited, one of India's leading private sector aerospace and defense solutions provider, in partnership with Safran Aircraft Engines, a world-leading commercial and military aircraft engine manufacturer, inaugurated their cutting-edge manufacturing facility at the Tata Centre of Excellence for Aero Engines in Adibatla, Hyderabad. The facility will produce complex rotating parts for the CFM LEAP engine, including cutting-edge machining and special processes under one roof.
The ceremony was held in the presence of Shri D. Sridhar Babu, Honourable Minister for Information Technology, Electronics & Communications, Industries & Commerce, and Legislative Affairs, Government of Telangana, along with senior officials from Tata Advanced Systems, Safran and government dignitaries.
The inauguration ceremony marks a significant milestone in the strategic collaboration announced in January 2024, when both companies signed a long-term agreement for the production of rotating parts for the LEAP engine, developed by CFM International, a 50-50 joint venture between GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines. LEAP engines, which power the majority of new generation narrowbody aircraft, continue to deliver on performance commitments, with 15% better fuel efficiency, much lower noise than previous generation engines and high utilization.
