Canadian aerospace electronics manufacturer Firan Technology Group opened its first India facility at the GMR Aerospace and Industrial Park in Hyderabad on Monday. The plant will manufacture advanced avionics and cockpit interface electronics for global original equipment manufacturers in the aerospace and defence sectors.
The facility is a customised Built-to-Suit unit within the 277-acre park developed by GMR Hyderabad Aviation SEZ Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited. This is FTG's fourth global manufacturing location, joining sites in Canada, the United States and China.
Aman Kapoor, CEO of GMR Airport Land Development, called the launch a significant step toward building a globally competitive aerospace manufacturing ecosystem. He said FTG's presence will strengthen domestic and export supply chains and advance indigenisation.
FTG President and CEO Brad Bourne described the opening as a strategic milestone. He said GMR's infrastructure and integrated, airport-led ecosystem provide an ideal platform to deliver the high-reliability avionics and cockpit interface electronics that the company's global OEM customers depend on.
India's aerospace manufacturing push has gained momentum through policy incentives and infrastructure zones like GMR's park. The park sits within the Hyderabad airport zone, offering logistics and regulatory advantages for export-oriented production. FTG's move adds to a growing list of foreign defence and aerospace firms setting up local manufacturing bases, partly driven by India's indigenisation requirements under the Defence Acquisition Procedure.
The Hyderabad facility positions FTG to bid on larger contracts tied to India's rising defence spending and the government's push to source more components locally. For GMR, the lease and customised build validate the airport-linked industrial park model, which the company plans to replicate at other sites.
Direct financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. FTG's existing facilities serve Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier and other major OEMs. The company trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker FTG.
