Avionics plays a major role in functioning of modern aircraft and contributes significantly to the value of an aircraft/ helicopter. Considering huge potential of Avionics systems in the coming years, a new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility for a variety of Avionics has been established at Kasargod. "This would result in better operational effectiveness and improved customer satisfaction," said RK Tyagi, Chairman, HAL, in a statement.
Based on the initiative of the Kerala government in providing assistance to industries to set up their plants in the state, Kasargod was short listed on the availability of adequate land, power, water and better logistic facilities. Kerala Government allotted 196 acres of land for setting up the new unit. The foundation stone for the construction of the factory buildings was laid by the defence minister AK Antony on August 23, 2008.
The first phase of this factory has been setup at the cost of Rs. 66 crores. At present, seven buildings are dedicated for various activities.
