Airbus Plans to Set up Assembly line & Supplier Base in India..

  PM Modi visited the Airbus factory in Toulouse, France during his official visit last year.. 

 

The Airbus Group has procured equipment worth over $500 million from India in 2015, supporting 6,000 jobs among its 45 suppliers. The group is keen on its military aircraft for Make in India and wants to set up final assembly lines. However, the Eurofighter may be a thing of the past, Airbus India President Pierre de Bausset tells Manu Pubby in an interview: 

Are you looking at setting up a final assembly line in India for a military aircraft?



We have bid for C295W medium transport aircraft as a replacement for IAF's Avro fleet. If selected, together with Tata, we will set up a C295W final assembly line in India and a supplier base to feed it. We have also partnered with Mahindra for helicopter manufacturing in India. We are already laying the groundwork and are readying ourselves for fast-track implementation in case the government accepts our proposals.

What are your expectations from the new Defence Procurement Procedure?



If it succeeds in simplifying processes, cutting the time it currently takes between issuing a tender and its closure, it will be good. It should have sufficient checks and balances to not let the process stall for unqualified reasons.



The concept of strategic partnerships in the context of the Aatre Committee report needs a closer look. The segmentation, duration of exclusivity, their ability to partner and to consolidate needs to be fully assessed.
