      Solution

      The Ministry of Defence has signed a contract worth approximately Rs 470 crore with Ultra Dimensions Pvt. Ltd. (UDPL), Vishakhapatnam for the modernisation of Naval Aircraft Yards (NAYs) at Goa & Kochi. The NAYs undertake servicing/repairs of Naval Aircraft, Aero Engines, Rotables and Test Equipment at Goa and Kochi. The modernisation includes repair facilities with state-of-the-art automated machineries and Composite repair bays. This project will generate employment of more than 1.8 lakh man-days over a period of three years. The modernisation will augment operational readiness of Naval Aviation Platforms and reduce dependence on external agencies and foreign Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) for repairs.
