The aircraft is for the Indian Air Force (IAF). Being Made in India, the transport aircraft can transform the defence sector. Vadodara, Gujarat is where the dream will soar high and come true.
The C-295MW, which will be the state-of-the-art transport aircraft, has a capacity of 5-10 tonnes. Designed with contemporary technology, the C-295MW will replace the Avro aircraft of the IAF. This is a first-of-its-kind project wherein a military aircraft will be manufactured in India by a private company. The planes will be manufactured by the Indian Aircraft Contractor, TATA Consortium of Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) led by TASL. The first Made in India aircraft is scheduled from September 2026 and can be used for civilian purposes. The financial outlay of the project is ₹ 21,935 crore.
With this, India will join the ranks of countries such as US, Japan, UK, Russia, France, Italy, Spain, Ukraine, Brazil, China and Japan...
