Adani Defence Systems & Technologies, part of the Adani Group, has bought a majority stake in Flight Simulation Technique Centre (FSTC), India’s largest independent pilot-training company, for ₹820 crore.
The deal gives Adani control of around 73% of FSTC, while the original owners retain the remaining 27%. FSTC runs 11 advanced flight simulators and 17 training aircraft, offering services from commercial pilot licenses to specialized skill courses. The company has training centers in Gurugram and Hyderabad and flying schools in Haryana. It is certified by India’s DGCA and Europe’s EASA.
This acquisition marks Adani’s entry into pilot training and flight simulation. With India’s aviation industry growing fast, the demand for trained pilots is increasing. By acquiring FSTC, Adani aims to offer complete aviation services, covering training, maintenance, and defence support and expand its presence in both civil and military aviation.
