Karnataka was chosen over Andhra Pradesh’s Anantapur due to its mature aerospace ecosystem, existing TASL infrastructure, and attractive incentives offered by the state government, such as land subsidies, production-linked benefits, and streamlined clearance processes. TASL has secured a 740,000 sq ft area for the project, which will also include maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) capabilities.

This announcement comes alongside a parallel Tata-Airbus project in Vadodara, Gujarat, where a C295 military aircraft assembly plant is under construction.
