Tata Lockheed Martin Aerostructures new facility

Tata Lockheed Martin Aerostructures Limited (TLMAL), a joint venture between Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) and Lockheed Martin, have inaugurated India’s first-of-its-kind metal-to-metal bonding facility at Adibatla, Hyderabad. The new 4,700 square-metre metal-to-metal bonding facility will directly support indigenisation of C-130 manufacturing by transitioning the production of approximately 2,000 previously imported empennage parts to Tata Sikorsky Aerospace, Ltd. (TSAL), another Tata-Lockheed Martin joint venture located there.
