GE Aviation, a global pioneer in aviation engines and technology development, has teamed up with Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation Ltd.
(TIDCO) to establish an Emerging Technologies Centre of Excellence (CoE). The CoE which is governed by TIDCO’s special purpose organisation (SPV), aspires to build an ecosystem of advanced additive research and development.
Both organisations signed a memorandum of agreement (MoU) in 2021, which led to the CoE. TIDCO and GE suggested a five-year investment of around 141.26 crores, which would be funded in two instalments.
The Center of Excellence will work on compressor heat exchangers, combustor components, casing, frames, gears, and splines, among other aircraft engine elements.
