T.N. government may start land acquisition for Hosur airport in three months
Tamil Nadu may begin land acquisition for the proposed Hosur airport in about three months. The consultant hired by the State government has submitted the Obstacle Limitation Surfaces (OLS) survey for two sites identified recently, and the administration is expected to finalise the location within a month and a half. It may be noted that a few months ago, Taneja Aerospace and Aviation Limited (TAAL) had also expressed interest to the State government, and talks were held to explore the possibility of a joint venture for the proposed airport. However, sources said it is too early to say whether this will materialise, as everything depends on which site the government selects for the project. Sources said that, according to the OLS report, it is feasible to build an airport at both identified sites — the first located about 1.5 km from the TAAL airstrip, and the second approximately 15.5 km east of Hosur and north of Shoolagiri. However, it also indicates that there are considerable challenges. 'The report shows that there is undulating land and quite a lot of obstacles around both sites. But it is feasible to construct an airport after implementing the necessary measures at both these locations. The State government will be presented with the advantages and disadvantages of both sites, and it will be up to it to decide which one to proceed with,' a source said. Meanwhile, the State government, which has written to the Ministry of Defence regarding the formation of a separate air control zone to set up the airport, is expecting the approval to come within two months. The government will also have to hold a meeting with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) in this regard soon. From automobile to electronics manufacturing and new investments in the pipeline, the State stands to benefit significantly if the airport plan materialises. As of now, progress is steady. A year after the airport was announced and some preliminary studies conducted, the State government is now close to finalising a site.

Taneja aerospace plans aircraft making unit in AP
1 2 3 Vijayawada: Taneja Aerospace and Aviation Limited (TAAL), a leading Indian aircraft manufacturer, has showed keen interest in establishing an aircraft manufacturing facility in Andhra Pradesh. The proposed project aims to produce 12-seater private jets and set up an aviation software division under the TallTech brand. If materialised, this would be one of the first major aircraft manufacturing ventures in state, marking a significant development in the state's efforts to attract high-tech industries. The move is seen as part of the govt's larger strategy to position AP as an emerging hub for aviation and aerospace innovation. To discuss the proposal, TAAL representatives met state's minister for investment, infrastructure, R&B BC Janardhan Reddy at the Novotel Hotel in Vijayawada on Wednesday. During the meeting, the company presented a detailed outline of their investment plan, production capacities and infrastructure needs. Minister Janardhan Reddy acknowledged the proposal and said that the govt is open to supporting industrial projects that align with the state's development goals. He assured the delegation that AP offers a conducive policy environment and will provide necessary clearances and incentives for eligible projects. "The proposal by Taneja Aerospace is a welcome step toward expanding high-tech industrial capacity in the state," the minister said, noting that further evaluations will be conducted before any formal commitments are made. Govt officials stated that discussions are still at an early stage and technical and administrative assessments will follow to study the feasibility of the project. They reiterated that industries offering long-term economic benefits and employment potential will be prioritised under the current investment promotion policies. TAAL, known for its contributions to small aircraft manufacturing in other states, is looking to expand operations with both manufacturing and software components. -
