TIDCO is preparing the standard operating procedure to promote helicopter services in the State, which will also create jobs. TIDCO is also establishing Common Facilities Centres (CFCs) which will have state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment which is not economically viable for small industries. A Common Engineering Facilities Center, costing Rs.450 crores, and a CFC for the foundry industry are being set up in Coimbatore, he said.

Mr. Krishnamoorthy said TIDCO is establishing Common Testing Centres like Electronics Warfare Testing Centres, Electro-Optics Testing Centres in line with the Defence Testing Infrastructure Scheme (DTIS) by GoI and integrated test facility for EMI/ EMC and Communication systems under the EMC 2.0 scheme by MEITY (Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology). “These facilities will create a common testing platform which enables MSMEs and other industries to utilize the state-of-the-art testing facilities in the electronics domain,” he said.

He continued, “The team has identified airstrips across the State which can be developed to create world-class flying training organizations that will be a huge boost to the skilling industry.” To support the micro, small and medium enterprises and start-ups engaged in UAV manufacturing, TIDCO is establishing a UAV-focused aerospace and defense park and a UAV testing center in line with the Union government’s Defense Testing Infrastructure Scheme.
