The site has also received USGBC Silver and IGBC Gold building certification. The campus is energy efficient with best practices in line with BEE-India and Global Best Management Practices. Collins Aerospace recently commemorated its 25th anniversary of operations in India.
“It was a pleasure to be at Collins India, a wonderful facility that is in many ways pushing forward on the new paradigm of aerospace manufacturing in India. In its 25 years of journey, Collins Aerospace is amalgamated across multiple verticals of aerospace manufacturing. It is indeed an honor to be here with the Collins team. I wish Collins all the very best in its endeavor to grow and also contribute to India’s growth in the area of aerospace manufacturing.” said Shri Jyotiraditya M. Scindia for Collins Aerospace.
