TAL Manufacturing Solutions Ltd, a fully owned subsidiary of Tata Motors, has started construction work at the MIHAN Special Economic Zone (SEZ) for setting up a state-of-the-art plant that would cater to the global needs of aircraft major Boeing.

The fencing on the 30 acres of land earmarked for the project is almost complete while the actual work is expected to begin in a week’s time, it was learnt. Sources said that basically TAL will be manufacturing a special type of sheet that would act as a partition between the cargo and passenger areas of various Boeing aircraft. TAL has been retained by the world’s largest aircraft manufacturer for supplying them with unique components for their aircraft world-wide, revealed sources. TAL is the first company to have begun work in the SEZ attached to the Multi Modal International Cargo and Passenger Hub Airport at Nagpur.
Assistant Commissioner, Central Excise and Customs (Preventive), Nikhil Meshram, who is also the Specified Officer for MIHAN SEZ, informed that Nagpur SEZ would be the biggest in India in terms of size. Most of the global IT majors have purchased land at MIHAN SEZ but are still to begin operations, he said. Meshram said that the Nagpur SEZ was unique not only because of its size but also because of the plethora of operations and industries it would be able to accommodate.
In a way, the SEZ also is ‘multi-modal’ - covering IT, Health Parks, et al, he remarked. When contacted, a senior official from TAL Manufacturing Solutions preferred to keep silent on the specific spare parts that TAL would manufacture for Boeing.
