TVS Supply Chain Solutions signs MoU with Italy-based ALA Group to enter India’s $28bn Aerospace and Defence supply chain market
Ahmedabad, 17th February: TVS Supply Chain Solutions (TVS SCS) (NSE: TVSSCS, BSE: 543965), a leading global supply chain solutions provider and one of India’s largest and fastest-growing integrated supply chain companies, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ALA Group, an Italy-based global aerospace and defence supply-chain integrator, to collaborate on opportunities in India’s rapidly expanding aerospace and defence sectors. The Aerospace and Defence market in India, estimated at approximately $28 billion, are among the most dynamic and profitable segments within industrial supply chains, driven by sustained demand for complex, regulated, and mission-critical logistics and procurement services.
The MoU establishes a strategic framework for the two companies to jointly pursue aerospace and defence supply chain opportunities, with a particular focus on defence offset programmes. The collaboration will initially focus on India, with potential to evaluate opportunities in other geographies over time.
As part of the proposed collaboration, TVS SCS and ALA Group will jointly provide integrated supply chain services across both production and aftermarket lifecycles for aerospace and defence programmes. TVS SCS will leverage its long-standing defence and utilities supply chain experience gained through its UK operations, together with its strong domestic presence in India. This includes procurement, market access, government and stakeholder engagement, regulatory and licensing expertise, warehousing and logistics infrastructure, digital platforms, and robust local execution capabilities.
The partnership will explore opportunities across end-to-end aerospace and defence supply chain services, spanning production support, spare parts distribution, inventory optimisation, defence-grade logistics solutions, logistics engineering, and aftermarket and MRO support services. These capabilities are aimed at supporting OEMs, MROs, operators, and government stakeholders through resilient and digitally enabled supply chain models across the full programme lifecycle.
