Tamil Nadu is taking a significant step in the field of aerospace and defense by establishing India’s first drone common testing center under the Defense Testing Infrastructure (DTI) scheme. Here are the key details about this initiative:

Location and Partners

The drone common testing center will be established on 2.3 acres of land at the SIPCOT Industrial Park, Vallam Vadagal, near Sriperumbudur in Tamil Nadu.

The Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO) led a transparent bidding process to identify industrial partners for this project. A consortium of companies including Keltron, Sense Image Technologies, Standards Testing and Compliance, and Avishka Retailers was selected for the joint venture.

Objectives

The establishment of this testing center aligns with the goal of creating an enabling ecosystem for the aerospace and defense industry in Tamil Nadu.

The lack of accessible and comprehensive test centers for aerospace and defense standards outside government-owned facilities has been a challenge for organizations in the sector. This new facility aims to bridge this gap and provide a dedicated testing center for unmanned aerial systems (UAS), or drones.

Multi-Domain Strategy

This initiative is part of the broader strategy of the Tamil Nadu government to establish a thriving defense and aerospace manufacturing ecosystem in the state.

The common testing center will support multiple sub-domains within the aerospace and defense industry, including unmanned aerial systems.

Economic Impact

By providing a dedicated testing center, Tamil Nadu aims to attract aerospace and defense companies looking to establish their Indian operations.

The establishment of this center is expected to create a favorable environment for investment and innovation in the aerospace and defense sectors, contributing to economic growth.

Role of TIDCO

The Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO) is the nodal agency responsible for implementing the Tamil Nadu Defense Industrial Corridor (TNDIC).

TIDCO’s efforts are aimed at creating a conducive ecosystem for aerospace and defense industries to thrive in Tamil Nadu.

Government’s Commitment

The establishment of India’s first drone common testing center showcases the state government’s commitment to supporting the aerospace and defense manufacturing sectors.

The government is taking innovative measures to address the industry’s needs and promote growth in the sector.

Overall, this initiative demonstrates Tamil Nadu’s dedication to becoming a preferred destination for aerospace and defense companies, fostering innovation, and contributing to the growth of the industry in India.
