Brief History

Welcome to the Aircraft Manufacturing Division, Nasik of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.

Aircraft Division Nasik, established in the year 1964 for licence manufacture of MiG-21FL aircraft & K-13 Missiles, is located at Ojhar, 24 kilometers from Nasik and approximately 200 kilometers from Mumbai in the state of Maharashtra. The Division since then manufactured MiG variants under the licence production - viz MiG-21M, MiG-21 BIS, MiG-27 M and the state-of-the-art aircraft  i.e. Su-30 MKI. Along with manufacturing, the Division also carried out overhaul of the MiG series aircraft and started ROH of Su-30 MKI. With the vast experience in Aircraft Manufacturing and Overhauling, and also the experience gained in MiG-21 BiS Up-gradation, the Division took the task of up-gradation of MiG-27 aircraft and successfully completed the challenging task of Indigenous Up-gradation of MiG-27M aircraft.

The Division is well laid out on a sprawling complex of 1,48,20,000 Sq. meters with a built-up area of 1,73,900 sq. meters having state-of-the-art plant/machinery/equipment and infrastructure. It has well qualified and trained manpower in different areas of aviation technology, viz design and development, manufacture and overhaul of aircraft, accessories and related products.

With the introduction of New a state-of-the art project i.e. Su-30 MKI and for smooth activities and operation of the Division then Aircraft Division, Nasik is de-lineated into two Divisions viz Aircraft Manufacturing Division (AMD) for manufacturing activities and Aircraft Overhaul Division (AOD) for Repair & Overhauling (ROH) activities.

Now, the Division is an independent profit-center and  is currently engaged in the following activities:
