India has inaugurated its first Tata-Airbus facility in Vadodara to manufacture the C-295 military aircraft, in a project launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. The C-295, a tactical transport aircraft developed by Airbus Defence and Space, is designed for multiple military applications, including troop and cargo transport, medical evacuation, surveillance, and humanitarian missions. With its 5,000 km range, 9,250 kg payload, and advanced avionics, the C-295 has been adopted by over 20 countries. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in boosting India's defense production capabilities and military self-reliance.
