Page 8

2.4 INITIATIVES OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT:

The Government of Tamil Nadu is focusing on implementing Aerospace & Defence Park

development programs, i.e. supporting the existing aerospace units technically and attracting

more Aerospace and Defence companies towards creating an integrated ecosystem for

Aerospace Industry development covering design, engineering, manufacturing, servicing and

maintenance of aircraft for civil and defence sector in Tamil Nadu. A separate policy for the

development of the aerospace industry in the State has been released with a vision to achieve

more than 30 % share of the Indian Aerospace industry output. As a part of the well thought

out plan to make the state move up the value chain, in the area of Aerospace and Defence

manufacturing by creating a strong ecosystem, Government has embarked on developing the

following aerospace projects for specific purposes in multiple locations in Tamil Nadu which

will be integrated in logical way in course of time:

✓ Aerospace components Manufacturing Park is being developed in

Sriperumbudur (Chennai) in an area of around 260 acres. It is expected that at

least 50 aerospace components manufacturing companies will have

manufacturing facilities in this park.

✓ Setting-up an Advanced Computing & Design Engineering Centre for

Aerospace & Defence Industries.

✓ Developing an MRO complex in around 50 acres adjoining the existing Chennai

Airport for Maintaining, Repairing and Overhauling of Aircraft.

✓ Creating an integrated Aerospace & Defence Park to a suitable location.

✓ Implementing Defence Industrial Corridor Project

2.5 GLOBAL AEROSPACE INDUSTRY GROWTH

The global Aerospace & Defence market has crossed USD one trillion and has been growing

at a CAGR of about 4% over the last five years. These figures include sales of all items

including aircraft and parts, missiles, airport equipment, MROs and all other services related

to civil aviation including training, engineering, and software development, etc. Growth is

primarily attributed to the strong performance of commercial aerospace driven by a surge in

passenger travel demand, increasing per capita income and positive global GDP outlook. The

USA and European countries are the dominant players in the Aerospace sector however over

the year’s share of other countries have increased from 8% to almost 18% now in the world

total production. Moreover, the resurgence of global security threats and growth in defence

budgets in many countries are all likely to promote global defence sub-sector revenue growth

over the next few years.

2.6 INDIAN AEROSPACE INDUSTRY GROWTH

The Indian aerospace industry is one of the fastest-growing aerospace markets in the world

with an expanding consumer base comprising airlines, businesses and High Net worth

Individuals (HNIs). The Indian aerospace industry has registered a CAGR of about 10%,

higher than the global average of about 4%. Indian market represents about 9% of the Asia-

Pacific market. The rapid growth of this industry has attracted major global aerospace

companies to India. All segments in the aerospace industry, including civil and military

aviation and space, are showing a significant level of growth.


Page 9

2.7 AEROSPACE INDUSTRY SUPPLY CHAIN

Globally, the aerospace industry is functioning in a structured, systematic and organized

manner and is interlinked through proper supply and value chain proposition. The aerospace

value chain is characterized by a long project life cycle spanning R&D, engineering design,

manufacturing, assembly and aftermarket (spare parts and services). The manufacturing and

assembly function is a critical component of the value chain and has high entry barriers in

terms of both cost and technology. In the past, OEMs followed a vertically integrated

manufacturing approach with participation at each level of the design, development and

manufacturing process.

As on date, more than 80% of the aerospace systems/sub-assemblies and components are

procured through outsourcing from different parts of the world. Very few leading large

aerospace system integrators (such as Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, Bombardier, Lockheed

Martin, etc.,) constitute around 15% of the entire industry.

This industry structure has emerged into a tier-based system of suppliers participating at each

stage, as indicated below:

Tier – 1 vendors maintain responsibility for providing equipment and systems to

the primes. This includes design, assembly, services and the assumption of

technical and financial risk.

Tier – 2 vendors manufacture and develop the required parts according to the

specifications provided by OEMs and Tier-1 vendors. Tier-2 vendors’ product

portfolios may also include the provision of aftermarket components and services.

Tier – 3 vendors are responsible for the supply of basic products and components

to vendors that are higher up the hierarchical order.

The aftermarket industry involves the maintenance and upgrading required for an aeroplane

after it leaves the factory. Manufacturers of aftermarket components are either OEMs or

Third-party vendors supplying reverse engineered PMA (Parts Manufacturer Approval)

parts.

2.8 AEROSPACEINDUSTRY- TAMIL NADU SCENARIO

The State has major strengths in Auto, IT, Electronics and Hi-tech areas and presence of

reputed educational institutions like IIT, Anna University and various Engineering Colleges

which all are necessary precursors for development of the successful aerospace industry.

Chennai has emerged as the largest electronic hardware manufacturing and exporting hub in

India. The electronic hardware industry has an important linkage to the Aerospace sector

especially avionic products and equipment which constitute almost 15% of the Aircraft cost.

Further Tamil Nadu is an important IT hub. Information Technology (IT) plays an eminent

part in the Aerospace Industry. The state accounts for almost 22% share of the high-level

software/IT exports from the country. The state has a significant share of the Auto industry

sector in the country accounting for around 30% share of the Automobile and Auto

component industry of the country.


Page 10

The State has attracted huge investments over the last two years and the majority of these

investments are from electronics and automotive market, hence it can be easily upgraded to

the aerospace component manufacturing market. The strong manufacturing capabilities in

automobile and electronics sector, highly skilled human resource pool are the major driving

factors for the State to emerge as the aerospace manufacturing hub.

There are 60+ aerospace component suppliers already operating in Tamil Nadu. Some of

them are graduating to major Tier II/III suppliers to Global aerospace OEMs and

organizations. Apart from manufacturing, Tamil Nadu has around 60 educational institutes

including IIT and MIT offering Aeronautical engineering courses, pilot training institutes

and colleges providing AME courses.

2.9 DEFENCE INDUSTRIAL CORRIDOR:

Government of India in the Budget 2018-19 has announced that a Defence Industrial

Corridor will be developed in Tamil Nadu. Department of Defence Production, Ministry of

Defence (MoD) has already conducted interactive meetings with the industrial units in

Hosur, Salem, Coimbatore, Trichy, and Chennai. State Government Officials participated in

all the meetings and provided all support to MoD to formulate the implementation plan.

In Tamil Nadu, numerous Industrial Units in the form of the cluster are operating in Chennai,

Trichy, Coimbatore, Salem and Hosur catering to Defence PSUs and Services. State

Government will provide all support and facilitation to the MoD for establishing the Defence

Corridor to attract more investments and generate employment in the State. The corridor

aims to bolster interaction between all industry players in order to create long-term synergy

and eventually develop the area into a defence production powerhouse. This project was

formally launched by Hon’ble Union Defence Minister on 20th January 2019 at Trichy.

For successful implementation of projects, the State Govt. is extending all support to the

Central Govt. The efforts of both Central and State Governments will facilitate growth of

defence manufacturing industries in the State. In order to promote the Aerospace & Defence

industry, the following steps are being taken by the State Govt.
