365telugu.com online news,Hyderabad, October 30, 2025: Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL), a leading Indian aerospace and defense solutions provider, and Safran Aircraft Engines, a global leader in commercial and military aircraft engines, have inaugurated a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility at the Tata Centre of Excellence for Aero Engines in Adibatla, Hyderabad.
The facility will produce high-precision rotating components for the CFM LEAP engine, integrating advanced machining and specialized processes under one roof.
The inauguration, attended by Shri D. Sridhar Babu, Telangana’s Minister for Information Technology, Electronics & Communications, Industries & Commerce, and Legislative Affairs, alongside senior officials from TASL, Safran, and government dignitaries, marks a key milestone in the partnership formed in January 2024.
This collaboration, part of a long-term agreement, focuses on manufacturing rotating parts for the LEAP engine, developed by CFM International—a 50-50 joint venture between GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines.
The LEAP engine, known for powering most new-generation narrowbody aircraft, offers 15% better fuel efficiency and significantly reduced noise levels compared to its predecessors.
Sukaran Singh, CEO and Managing Director of TASL, stated, “This facility showcases our capability to deliver complex aerospace technologies and reinforces India’s role in the global aerospace supply chain. Contributing to the LEAP program, one of the world’s top-selling engine platforms, highlights our commitment to precision and excellence.”
Dominique Dupuy, Senior Vice President Purchasing at Safran Aircraft Engines, added, “This plant strengthens our supply chain by manufacturing closer to key markets, ensuring resilience, quality, and sustainability. It’s a testament to the shared vision of Safran and TASL for innovation and industrial excellence in aerospace.”
India is the third-largest operator of LEAP engines globally, with 75% of its commercial aircraft powered by CFM’s advanced turbofan technology. Over 2,000 LEAP engines have been ordered by Indian airlines, emphasizing the need for robust local manufacturing and support infrastructure.
Established in 2018, the Tata Centre of Excellence for Aero Engines leverages Industry 4.0 technologies, including cutting-edge precision machining and specialized aeroengine processes, to serve both Indian and global aerospace markets.
