Business Updates
The collaboration deed for the Whitefield, Bangalore Facility of 16.16 acres comprising of covered area of about 1,05,000 Sq ft to be built up on nearly 2.5 Acres for the first phase and balance open area to be utilized later for expansion for second & third phase, was executed on 24th Nov 2011 at Bangalore. The initial infrastructure, timeframe & equipment to be installed are outlined below.
Start up time frame
Initial capability will be focused on establishing customer approval for QA, manufacture and engineering systems will be operational by March 2013. Simultaneously the construction of aerospace grade workshops, clean-rooms, inspection areas and support infrastructure will be undertaken in order to accept plant and equipment starting the 2nd quarter 2013 and finished commissioning 3rd quarter 2013. By the 4th quarter of 2013 the facility is proposed to have full initial capability.
Initial Infrastructure
The VRT facility is to be fitted out commensurate with the capability to manufacture, test and maintain aerospace hydraulic, pneumatic and mechanical components and assemblies. The list below details the higher level equipment types considered necessary in our experience to undertake such activities in a professional and world class manner:
