<p> Boeing and Tata Advanced Systems on Saturday laid foundation for a new facility at the Aerospace SEZ on the outskirts of Hyderabad for its joint venture named TATA Boeing Aerospace (TBAL). <br /><br /></p>.<p>The joint venture has been established to co-produce Boeing AH-64 Apache helicopter fuselages and other aero structures, as well as to pursue integrated systems in aerospace.<br /><br />The Hyderabad production facility will eventually be the sole producer of AH-64 fuselages globally. The Apache has been flown or selected for acquisition by the United States and 15 other nations, including India.<br /><br /> “The joint venture between Tata and Boeing is a significant step in developing India’s capabilities for aerospace and defence manufacturing and becoming a global exporter. This is a clear example of the significant progress made towards Make in India for defence,” Manohar Parrikar, defecse minister, government of India said after laying the foundation stone for the facility. <br /><br />He said things would be speeded up during the current financial year and hoped that there will be more such projects by the end of 2016-17.<br /><br />In November 2015, Boeing and Tata announced a joint venture for manufacturing aero structures and collaboration on integrated systems development opportunities in India. <br /><br />This joint venture will create a manufacturing centre of excellence to produce aerostructures for the AH-64 Apache and provide affordable manufacturing capabilities to the global aerospace industry. <br /></p>
