30 May 2023 CW Team

The Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to select a consultant to prepare a techno-economic feasibility report for the establishment of an Aerospace Industrial Park at Sulur in Coimbatore. TIDCO has identified a 200-acre land parcel in Sulur, Coimbatore for this project. The total land consists of four villages: Appannaikenpatty, Kadambadi, Kangayampalayam in Coimbatore and Paruvai in Tiruppur.

The RFP from TIDCO states that the selected consultant will carry out an analysis of the identified site and its surroundings. The consultant will develop a profile of the site, including the physical area, location, access, connectivity, and demographic and socio-economic profile of the surrounding areas. The selected consultant will also need to conduct surveys to prepare an Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIA) and a Social Impact Assessment (SIA). The consultant will also prepare a conceptual framework for the development of the aerospace industrial park, including the required sub-domains, such as MRO and aircraft assembly.

The intended outcome of the creation of the aerospace park at Sulur is to host major Aviation and Defence (A&D) Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and their sub-tier partners, enabling them to set up manufacturing facilities that can cater to the Indian A&D market and serve as an export hub. Key sectors envisaged for this aerospace industrial park include Airframe MRO, Aero Engine MRO, and Airplane assembly, among others.
