TVS Supply Chain Enters Aerospace and Defence Logistics Market Through Joint Venture With Italy’s ALA Group

TVS Supply Chain Solutions has announced its entry into the fast-growing aerospace and defence logistics sector through a strategic joint venture with Italy-based ALA Group. The partnership marks a significant milestone for the company as it expands beyond its traditional logistics and supply chain operations into a specialised segment that is witnessing strong growth globally and in India.

The newly formed joint venture will operate with a 51:49 shareholding structure between TVS Supply Chain Solutions and ALA Group. The collaboration is expected to generate cumulative revenue of more than ₹2,000 crore by 2031, reflecting the growing opportunities emerging from India’s defence modernisation efforts and increasing participation in the global aerospace ecosystem.

Initially, the joint venture will focus on opportunities within India. However, both companies will continue to explore international opportunities and support aerospace and defence supply chain requirements across selected global markets in the coming years.

The partnership will provide end-to-end integrated supply chain services for aerospace and defence customers. Its scope includes sourcing and supply of components, inventory management, kitting and sub-assembly operations, warehousing, imports, consolidation and final delivery. These specialised services are becoming increasingly important as aerospace and defence manufacturers seek efficient and reliable supply chain partners.

India’s aerospace and defence sector is undergoing rapid transformation, supported by government initiatives promoting localisation, defence manufacturing and global partnerships. According to industry estimates, the country’s defence logistics market is expected to grow at a healthy pace over the coming years, creating significant opportunities for specialised logistics providers.

TVS Supply Chain already has experience supporting defence operations in Europe and has worked with the UK Ministry of Defence and major defence contractors. Meanwhile, ALA Group brings extensive expertise in aerospace and defence logistics, serving customers across air, land and naval platforms worldwide.

Industry experts believe the joint venture positions both companies to benefit from rising investments in aerospace manufacturing, defence production and advanced engineering sectors. As India continues to strengthen its position as a global aerospace and defence hub, the partnership is expected to play an important role in supporting critical supply chain infrastructure while contributing to the growth of the country’s industrial and manufacturing ecosystem.
