Tata Advanced Materials Ltd, a unit of Tata Industries Ltd has won an order from aircraft maker Boeing to supply composite interior closeout panels for the P-8 military jet.
The P-8 is designed for long-range anti-submarine and anti-surface (ships) warfare, as well as armed intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions. A derivative of Boeing’s Next-Generation 737-800, P-8 is capable of broad-area maritime operations.
“This contract is another example of Indian companies becoming part of the global supply chain and manufacturing aerospace parts for the world’s most advanced products,” said Sudhi Ranjan Mukherjee, chief executive of TAML. The contract with Boeing will help strengthen TAML’s position as a strong and reliable partner in the aero-structures segment, the company said.
