This expansion signifies India's growing role in high-precision global aerospace manufacturing and supply chain diversification.
Sigma Advanced Systems (SAS), a leading aerospace manufacturing company, commenced production at its facility in Sri City, the ground-breaking ceremony for which was organised eight months ago.
The first batch of precision-machined aerospace components was shipped to Sigma’s UK operations for final verification before their delivery to customers, an official release said.
The 75,000 sft facility, developed as part of a larger 500,000 sft campus, has a production capacity of 100,000 annual machining hours now. It was designed to scale up to nearly 300,000 annual machining hours.
The Sri City facility is being developed to replicate Sigma UK’s established aerospace manufacturing capabilities in India, progressively bringing a larger share of the aerospace manufacturing value chain to the State.
