Transport Aircraft for Indian Air Force to be made in India by Airbus Defence & TATA consortium: Min of Defence
Ministry of Defence:
In a major boost to ‘Make in India’ and domestic aviation manufacturing, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone of a transport aircraft manufacturing project for the Indian Air Force (IAF) at Vadodara, Gujarat on October 30, 2022.
Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh, Minister of Civil Aviation Shri Jyotiraditya M Scindia and Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel are among those who will attend the function.
It may be recalled that the Cabinet Committee on Security had, on September 08, 2021, approved the procurement of 56 C-295MW transport aircraft from M/s Airbus Defence and Space S.A., Spain.
On September 24, 2021, Ministry of Defence signed a contract with M/s Airbus Defence and Space S.A. for acquisition of the aircraft with associated equipment.
Addressing a press conference in New Delhi on October 27, 2022, Defence Secretary Dr Ajay Kumar said, as part of the contract, 16 aircraft will be delivered in flyaway condition and 40 will be manufactured in India by the Indian Aircraft Contractor, TATA Consortium of Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) led by TASL.
This is the first project of its kind in which a military aircraft will be manufactured in India by a private company. The total cost of the project is Rs 21,935 crore. The aircraft can be used for civilian purposes as well.
The first 16 fly-away aircraft are scheduled to be received between September 2023 and August 2025. The first Made in India aircraft is expected from September 2026.
C-295MW is a transport aircraft of 5-10 tonne capacity with contemporary technology that will replace the ageing Avro aircraft of IAF.
It has a rear ramp door for quick reaction and para dropping of troops and cargo. Short take-off/land from semi-prepared surfaces is another of its features. The aircraft will strengthen the logistic capabilities of the IAF.
The project offers a unique opportunity for the Indian private sector to enter into technology intensive and highly competitive aviation industry. It will augment domestic aviation manufacturing resulting in reduced import dependence and expected increase in exports.

Dharani – a scheme to modernise land records in Telangana is dispossessing tens of thousands of Dalits, Adivasis and other Backwards castes of their own lands: Jairam Ramesh
Jairam Ramesh – MP, Gen Sec., Congress:
Today on Day 50 of Bharat Jodo Yatra Rahul Gandhi interacted with farmers & farmers’ representatives from different parts of Telangana.
The following issues were highlighted:
1. Tenant farmers suicides
2. Lack of crop insurance & disaster relief
3. Dharani land records portal
30% farmers in Telangana are tenant-farmers & they account for 80% of suicides since 2014 (> 6500 officially).
TRS Govt has failed miserably to provide any relief to bereaved families.
Rahul Gandhi met with widows who are still struggling to make ends meet as women farmers
Since Kharif 2020, Telangana doesn’t have any crop insurance scheme nor has it given any compensation for disasters through 2005 NDMA Act.
This has deprived lakhs of farmers of compensation when there is crop loss, the frequency of which has increased due to climate change
The much advertised Rythu Bandhu does not benefit tenant farmers & cultivators in any way.
Rahul Gandhi assured that tenant farmers and those who till the land must be registered & get full benefit of govt schemes, including bank loans, direct income transfer & crop insurance.
Farmers also complained of the Dharani scheme in Telangana. It’s criminal that a scheme to modernise land records is dispossessing tens of thousands of Dalits, Adivasis and other Backwards castes of their own lands.
Rahul Gandhi also promised that the Congress manifesto for the upcoming Assembly elections in Telangana will have a very sharp focus on farming issues and will be prepared after the widest possible consultations with all stakeholders
