C-295 Aircraft Will Come From Spain For Indian Air Force In September
C-295 aircraft will come from Spain for Indian Air Force in September, and self-reliant India will get strength in the defense sector.
About a month and a half later, probably on September 13, the Airbus company-built C295 aircraft will come to India from Seville, Spain, to join the Indian Air Force.
Whereas, from next year itself, the country’s leading private company Tata Advanced Systems Limited will start preparations for the construction of this aircraft in association with Airbus in India.
First indigenous C-295 aircraft to be ready in 2026.
The first indigenously produced C295 will likely be ready in 2026.
The truth is that with that aircraft, the idea of a self-reliant India will truly take off, as the dream will also take shape that India can build its indigenous capability in aircraft manufacturing.
The First C295 aircraft will arrive in India in September.
In view of the agreement with India, the first C295 for the Air Force was also ready, which the Air Force Chief himself would go to pick up in September.
Work has started on the second aircraft. Airbus officials told that the second aircraft will come to India in May next year and one aircraft every month after that.
Indian Air Force needs 56 aircraft.
The Air Force needs a total of 56 aircraft, out of which 16 will come from Spain and the remaining 40 will be made at Tata’s plant being built in Vadodara.
It is believed that the foundation of self-reliant India, which has been laid by the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, at least in the defense sector, C-295 aircraft will give a full expansion to it.
Because about 95 percent of the components used in this aircraft will also be made in India.
Self-reliant India will get strength.
Significantly, the Modi government banned the import of hundreds of defense weapons three years ago to increase India’s capacity in defense manufacturing.
Emphasis was laid on the construction of the Defense Corridor in the country.
But experts believe that the C295 will in one stroke bring India to the point where complete indigenous capability of aircraft manufacturing would be possible.
Till now only a government company like HAL was in this field, but manufacturing an aircraft like C295 will be different.
About 15,000 high-skilled jobs will be created and about 10,000 MSMEs will stand up, as about 14-15,000 components will also be made from the same.
There will also be the participation of government companies like Bharat Electronics Limited and Bharat Dynamics Limited. Airbus has also made some changes as per the demand of the Indian Air Force.
Beginning of a new era with the help of Airbus and Tata.
It is believed that this story starting with the partnership of Airbus and Tata can start a new era.
In the coming times, when India is striving to become the second-third largest economy in the world and is striving to become a big exporter by rising from the category of importer, then an indigenous leap in aircraft manufacturing will also be possible.
Jard Tamrit, who is looking after the C295 India project at Airbus, said that so far eight pilots and 20 technicians from India have been trained at the plant.
Another 18 Indian pilots and 60 technicians will be trained in the coming times.
