TBAL delivers 250th fuselage for AH-64 Apache attack helicopter from Hyderabad facility, advancing India's defence capabilities and indigenous manufacturing.
Tata Boeing Aerospace (TBAL) has delivered the 250th fuselage for the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter from facility in Hyderabad.
The fuselages are manufactured for customers around the world, including the U.S. Army and most recently, the six on order with the Indian Army, the joint venture between Boeing and Tata Advanced Systems (TASL) said on December 20.
Describing the delivery of the 250th fuselage as a milestone, TBAL said the development is a pointer to the “continuous dedication to bolstering India’s defence capabilities and advancing the nation’s indigenous manufacturing prowess.”
Over 900 engineers and technicians are employed at its facility that leveraged cutting-edge robotics, automation and advanced aerospace concepts in the manufacturing processes. The 14,000 sqm facility serves as a global sole source supplier for Apache fuselages with more than 90% of the parts used in the Apache aero structure assemblies manufactured in India through more than 100 micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) suppliers.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
