Advanced avionics to be made in Hyderabad as Canadian aerospace manufacturer FTG enters India

Advanced avionics and cockpit interface electronics for global aerospace and defence programmes will now be manufactured in Hyderabad, with Canadian aerospace electronics manufacturer Firan Technology Group (FTG) inaugurating its first India manufacturing facility at the GMR Aerospace and Industrial Park in Hyderabad on Monday.

The facility, developed by GMR Hyderabad Aviation SEZ Limited (GHASL), a wholly owned subsidiary of GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited (GHIAL), marks FTG’s entry into India and its fourth global manufacturing location after Canada, the United States and China.

The new unit has been established as a customised Built-to-Suit (BTS) facility within the 277-acre GMR Aerospace and Industrial Park and will manufacture advanced avionics and cockpit interface electronics for global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the aerospace and defence sectors.

The launch of FTG’s first India facility at GMR Aerospace Park marks a significant step forward in building a globally competitive aerospace manufacturing ecosystem. TG’s presence will play a pivotal role in strengthening domestic and export supply chains, advancing indigenisation, and further positioning Hyderabad as a leading hub for aerospace and industrial innovation,” said Aman Kapoor, CEO, GMR Airport Land Development.

Opening our first facility in India is a strategic milestone for FTG. GMR’s world-class Built-to-Suit infrastructure and integrated, airport-led ecosystem give us an ideal platform to deliver the high-reliability avionics and cockpit interface electronics our global OEM customers depend on, said Brad Bourne, President and CEO, FTG Corporation.
