HAL to provide tech support to Nashik firms - Times Of India
NASHIK: Aircraft manufacturer Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) said it is planning to outsource maximum aircraft components to Nashik industries and will provide support for all technology and tooling solutions to its selected vendors.
A business meet (B2B) between HAL and Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs) was held in Nashik at the mega industrial exhibition NIMA Index: 2012 with an aim to outsource maximum aircraft components in the region. The expo is being held at the Dongre Hostel grounds in Nashik. Around 70 entrepreneurs participated in the business meet. HAL manufactures defense aircraft at its Ozar plant near Nashik. The aircraft that are manufactured here include Su-30 MKI (Twin-seater, Multi-role, Long range Fighter / Bomber / Air Superiority Aircraft), MiG-27 M (Single-seater Tactical Fighter / Bomber with variable sweep wings), MiG-21 Variants (Single-seater Front line Tactical Interceptor / Fighter Aircraft).
"We are already outsourcing aircraft components in large numbers from Bangalore and Hyderabad. But, outsourcing components to industries in Bangalore and Hyderabad is not feasible logistically. Hence, we are planning to outsource maximum aircraft components from Nashik industries. We already have around 15-20 vendors in Nashik. The selected vendors from Nashik will be provided with the technology and tooling solutions," said GSR Prasad, deputy general manager (outsourcing & marketing), HAL.
"We already have skilled manpower doing the work, but there are some areas where we are looking for outsourcing. The components we require include CNC machines, sheet metals, electrical looms, rubber components, typical hydraulic service trolleys, tooling and ground handling equipments," he said.
Some vendors from Nashik, including Panchal Engineering, Navkar Technology etc., also gave power point presentations to HAL officials.
"We are already supplying to Mahindra Sona, Crompton Greaves and Kent Introl Ltd. Of total installed capacity, we are utilizing 70 per cent of the capacity while rest of the 30 per cents is to be utilized for the companies like HAL which have earned a status of 'Navratna'," Nikhil Panchal of Panchal Engineering said.
"Earlier, the products were manufactured here and their finishing was done at Bangalore. But today's new generation is manufacturing quality products and exporting to the other countries," he said.
