Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) has achieved a major milestone in India’s aerospace manufacturing journey with the delivery of the 300th Pilatus aircraft fuselage in March 2025, further cementing its reputation as a global leader in precision engineering and aerospace manufacturing.
The fuselage, part of the Pilatus PC-12 and PC-21 aircraft programs, was manufactured at TASL’s state-of-the-art facility and marks over a decade of successful collaboration between Tata and Pilatus Aircraft Ltd, the Swiss aerospace company renowned for its training and utility aircraft.
Since initiating the program, TASL has consistently demonstrated world-class capabilities in producing complex aerostructures, with an emphasis on high quality, timely delivery, and strict adherence to international standards. The delivery of the 300th fuselage is a significant testament to TASL’s engineering excellence and India’s rising role as a dependable manufacturing hub in the global aerospace supply chain.
TASL’s facility in Hyderabad, where the fuselages are manufactured, plays a critical role in this success. The plant features cutting-edge technologies and adheres to the stringent quality protocols required by global aviation majors.
This milestone comes at a time when India’s aerospace and defence ecosystem is witnessing rapid growth, backed by government initiatives and increasing private sector participation. TASL’s successful partnership with Pilatus not only showcases India’s capability to meet demanding aerospace manufacturing requirements but also strengthens the country’s credibility in delivering high-precision components for global OEMs.
With the 300th fuselage now delivered, TASL is expected to scale up further to meet growing global demand and explore new international partnerships. The company remains focused on expanding its global footprint, while continuing to support India’s ambition of becoming a self-reliant hub for aerospace and defence manufacturing.
