French aerospace and defence multinational Safran plans to inaugurate
its expanded aircraft engines facility in Hyderabad in the third quarter
of 2021.
A leadership team headed by Safran Chairman Ross McInnes called on Telangana's Industry Minister K.T. Rama Rao here on Friday.
The
team also included Safran's Senior EVP International & Public
Affairs Alexandre Ziegler and Safran India MD Pierre Dickeli.
In
February 2019, Safran had announced that it will set up a plant here
with an investment of 36 million euros to make parts for the LEAP
turbofan engine for CFM International, a joint venture between GE
Aviation and Safran.
The plant, spread over 13,000 square metres, is coming up in the special economic zone (SEZ) of GMR near the Hyderabad Airport.
The
plant will eventually have a workforce of 300, Safran had said in a
statement. When the plant hits cruise speed in 2023, it will be able to
deliver 15,000 parts per year to support the sustained production rate
of LEAP, the fastest selling aircraft engine.
Safran has a
maintenance training centre in Hyderabad for CFM engines. Opened in
2010, this centre can train more than 500 technicians a year.
In
2018, Safran set up a factory in Hyderabad to produce LEAP engines
harnesses. The facility manufactures aero engine wire harnesses and
interconnection systems for LEAP Engines, FADEC and Rafale programmes.
With
presence in India for the last 65 years, Safran has over 600 employees
at seven units, which provide design, production and support services
for aerospace and defence.
