GE and Tata celebrate ground-breaking of Aero-engine Centre of Excellence in Telangana

GE and Tata group, India’s leading global enterprise, have held the ground-breaking ceremony for a world class Structural Center of Excellence (COE) focused on aero-engine components. The manufacturing facility will be located in Adibatla, Hyderabad.
The COE will incorporate latest technologies from GE and best manufacturing practices to deliver complex high precision aero-engine components to the world’s fastest-selling jet engine, the CFM LEAP engine.
This is part of the strategic partnership signed in November 2017 between GE Aviation and Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) to join forces for manufacturing, assembling, integration and testing of aircraft components.
The agreement for manufacturing of LEAP components and establishment of TASL as a COE provides the opportunity for TASL to expand into other GE product lines in both commercial and military engines in the future.
