The assembly plant in Kolar is geared up to manufacture Airbus's H125 helicopters, a model renowned for its popularity in the civil sector. This production unit is poised to become the fourth of its kind globally, aligning with facilities in France, the USA, and Brazil. Initially, the production capacity is set at 10 helicopters annually. However, given Airbus's projection of a demand for 500 light helicopters of the H125 class in the Indian and South Asian markets over the next 20 years, plans for expansion are already on the horizon.

Karnataka's selection as the site for this assembly line was not arbitrary; the state was chosen over other contenders such as Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat due to its robust aerospace manufacturing ecosystem. Despite Anantapur in Andhra Pradesh being a strong candidate, thanks to international recognition from Kia Motors' manufacturing unit, Karnataka's comprehensive ancillary support system and existing TASL facilities gave it the edge. This decision underscores the importance of a well-established industrial ecosystem in driving major projects.
