Welcome to the Avionics Division, Korwa of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.
Concurrent with the induction of the Jaguar Aircraft into Indian Air Force, the Government of India decided to update the Cockpit System with latest generation equipment for navigation and display. The Government of India entered into a collaboration agreement with British Aerospace, UK on 12th April 1979 for the license manufacture of Jaguar Aircraft, for the requirement of the Indian Air Force. It was decided to manufacture this Aircraft and its aggregates.  As the Jaguar Aircraft is fitted with advanced avionics like inertial navigation and weapon aiming systems, it was decided to set up a new factory for manufacture of advanced avionics systems under Accessories Complex. The Government on 4th Sept. 1982 accepted HAL's proposal for setting up a self-contained new unit for taking up production of the Navigation Display and Attack System for Jaguar Aircraft. The Government of India approved setting up of a new factory at Korwa, Dist. C.S.M. Nagar in Uttar Pradesh. The Korwa is an underdeveloped area approximately 130 kilometers from Lucknow on Rae-bareily - Sultanpur Road.

The Civil construction started on 15th June 1983. The Production activity  of the Division at Korwa commenced on 15th November 1984  with the construction of Manufacturing, Assembly, Process Shops and Services Block. The complex was formally inaugurated by then Prime Minister, Late Rajiv Gandhi on 3rd April 1986.

Recently The Government of India has entered into protocol agreement with Russian Government to manufacture of SU-30 MK1 Aircraft. The Navigation and Sighting Complex OEPrNk-30MK-03 of this aircraft are being manufactured at Korwa.
