Fakruddin, HAL Director – Corporate Planning and Marketing.
“HAL and INCAT are set to capitalize on the global aerospace demand by leveraging their combined core strengths – HAL’s offset business, and INCAT’s global offshore/on-site engineering business.” added Patrick McGoldrick, Managing Director – Tata Technologies, INCAT’s parent company.
