Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), a global leader in aerospace and defense technologies, has further solidified its presence in India with the inauguration of its HELA facility in Hyderabad. The state-of-the-art facility will be a hub for repairing radar systems, encompassing power systems, cooling systems, IT integration, radar testing, and calibration.
The facility will employ a skilled workforce of 45 expert professionals and 80 field engineers, who will be dedicated to providing top-notch support and maintenance services to Indian customers.
IAI acquired Indian company HELA Systems Private Limited in 2023. Yaniv Mizrahi, CEO of HELA Systems, expressed the company’s commitment to supporting India’s strategic goals. “With the launch of this facility, we reaffirm our dedication to empowering local professionals and fostering innovation through world-class radar solutions,” he said.
This latest development underscores IAI’s strategic focus on adapting to the Indian government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative. Eight months ago, IAI established Aerospace Services India (ASI) as a subsidiary to further strengthen its local presence and capabilities.
