Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) in partnership with Safran Aircraft Engines, inaugurated a state-of-the-art rotating parts manufacturing facility for the CFM LEAP engine at the Tata Centre of Excellence for Aero Engines in Adibatla, Hyderabad.

The facility will produce complex rotating parts for the LEAP engine, bringing cutting-edge machining and special processes under one roof.

The ceremony was attended by Shri D. Sridhar Babu, Hon’ble Minister for Information Technology, Electronics & Communications, Industries & Commerce, and Legislative Affairs, Government of Telangana, along with senior officials from Tata Advanced Systems, Safran, and government dignitaries.

The inauguration marks a significant milestone in the strategic collaboration announced in January 2024, when both companies signed a long-term agreement for the production of rotating parts for the LEAP engine, developed by CFM International, a 50-50 joint venture between GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines.

The LEAP engines, which power the majority of new-generation narrowbody aircraft, are known for 15% better fuel efficiency, much lower noise, and high utilization compared to previous generation engines.

Sukaran Singh, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Tata Advanced Systems Limited, said: “Rotative aeroengine components represent the pinnacle of aerospace technology and this world-class facility reflects our commitment to building advanced manufacturing capabilities in India and our proven ability to industrialize complex global aerospace programs. Being part of the LEAP program—among the world’s highest-selling engine platforms—underscores our focus on precision, quality, and excellence for the global aerospace supply chain.”

Dominique Dupuy, Senior Vice President Purchasing, Safran Aircraft Engines, said:
“Beyond its state-of-the-art infrastructure, this plant lies at the very heart of Safran Aircraft Engines’ supply chain strategy: manufacturing closer to our markets, strengthening our supply chain resilience, and delivering to our customers the highest standards of quality, safety, performance, and sustainability. This is a significant milestone for both Safran Aircraft Engines and our partner, Tata Advanced Systems Limited, which marks a new chapter in our partnership, driven by our shared commitment to industrial excellence and technological innovation in aerospace.”

India represents the third-largest operator of LEAP engines globally, with 75% of Indian commercial aircraft equipped with CFM’s advanced turbofan technology. To date, more than 2,000 LEAP engines have been ordered by Indian airlines, highlighting the importance of building robust manufacturing and support capabilities in the country.
