Indian Defence (DF)
India will become the sole producer of fuselages for the
AH-64 Apache helicopter delivered by Boeing to its global
customers. On 1 March 2018, Tata Boeing Aerospace Ltd
(TBAL), a joint venture between Boeing Co. and Tata
Advanced Systems Ltd (TASL) officially opened its facility to
produce fuselages for the Apache helicopter in Hyderabad.
The facility in Hyderabad is spread over 14,000-square
metres and is employing 350 skilled workers. The facility will
also produce secondary structures and vertical spar boxes of
this multi-role combat helicopter. The delivery of the first
fuselage is expected to start somewhere in 2018.

Defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Telangana
minister for Industries and IT, KT Rama Rao inaugurated the
facility. TBAL, Boeing’s first equity Joint Venture in India,

Snowcapped mountains near the home of the Republic of Singapore training unit in Idaho, provide a great backdrop for F-15SG 05-8366 on finals.
