The first 3 units were to be directly delivered by Indra, while the rest of 20 units will be manufactured in India. By March 2023, the first radar was delivered to the Navy, and two units were under production. In July 2024, it was reported that {{INS|Mysore|D60}} has been retrofitted with the radar.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Staff |first=Naval News |date=2023-05-19 |title=Indian Navy Destroyer Fitted with Lanza-N 3D radar |url=https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2023/05/indian-navy-destroyer-fitted-with-lanza-n-3d-radar/ |access-date=2024-08-22 |website=Naval News |language=en-US |archive-date=25 September 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240925234244/https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2023/05/indian-navy-destroyer-fitted-with-lanza-n-3d-radar/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-07-25 |title=Indian Navy installs Lanza-N surveillance radar on INS Mysore |url=https://www.janes.com/osint-insights/defence-news/c4isr/indian-navy-installs-lanza-n-surveillance-radar-on-ins-mysore |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240822175656/https://www.janes.com/osint-insights/defence-news/c4isr/indian-navy-installs-lanza-n-surveillance-radar-on-ins-mysore |archive-date=22 August 2024 |access-date=2024-08-22 |website=Janes |language=en}}</ref>
The first Made in India Lanza-N radar was built, delivered, and commissioned into an Indian Navy warship on 10 September 2025. The radar was accepted and inducted after rigorous sea trials where the performance was tested against multiple naval and aerial targets with varying radar cross sections. The radar will be integrated with other Indian Navy frigates, destroyers, and aircraft carriers following this. The Indian variant would be modified for optimised to optimize its operation in the very humid and hot conditions of the Indian Ocean. TASL is the first Indian company to produce a 3D Air Surveillance Radar (3D-ASR). TASL operates a radar assembly, integration, and test facility in Karnataka. Lanza-N is an air defence and anti-missile radar.<ref>{{Cite press release |title=Indra and Tata Advanced Systems commission first Lanza Naval 3D Air Surveillance Radar system for Indian Navy |date=10 September 2025 |publisher=Press Information Bureau |url=https://www.indracompany.com/en/noticia/indra-tata-advanced-systems-commission-first-lanza-naval-3d-air-surveillance-radar-system |access-date=12 September 2025}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2025-09-11 |title=Tata Advanced Systems and Spanish defence firm Indra deliver India's first homegrown 3D naval radar |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/tata-advanced-systems-and-spanish-defence-firm-indra-deliver-indias-first-homegrown-3d-naval-radar/articleshow/123825875.cms?from=mdr |access-date=2025-09-12 |work=The Economic Times |issn=0013-0389}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Philip |first=Snehesh Alex |date=2025-09-11 |title=Navy gets first Tata-made Spanish 3D surveillance radar for its warships, 19 more to come |url=https://theprint.in/defence/navy-gets-first-tata-made-spanish-3d-surveillance-radar-for-its-warships-19-more-to-come/2741114/ |access-date=2025-09-12 |website=ThePrint |language=en-US}}</ref>

By late 2011, the joint venture started the production of airframe components for Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules aircraft. The components were then shipped to Lockheed's C-130 final assembly line facility in Marietta, Georgia, for integration and delivery.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6" />
As of March 2014, Lockheed Martin was looking to establish an engine MRO facility in India to support the country's and South Asia's aviation market. This would be the company's third engine MRO facility besides its existing facilities in the US and Canada. A feasibility study for the purpose was underway within the company, and the firm is expected to confirm its decision by the year-end. As of then, the company had yet to decide on the facility's initial maintenance capacity, rate, its location — Hyderabad, Delhi, Bangalore, and Mumbai — and whether to develop the facility from scratch or undertake a joint development with an existing entity. Meanwhile, the company already has its presence in Adibatla SEZ near Hyderabad, operating as TMLAL, in order to manufacture aerostructures like centre wing boxes and empennages for defence aircraft.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Natti |first=Sunitha |date=2014-03-15 |title=Lockheed Martin Plans to Set Up MRO Facility |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/business/2014/Mar/15/lockheed-martin-plans-to-set-up-mro-facility-586327.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20250724144235/https://www.newindianexpress.com/business/2014/Mar/15/lockheed-martin-plans-to-set-up-mro-facility-586327.html |archive-date=2025-07-24 |access-date=2025-07-24 |website=The New Indian Express |language=en}}</ref>

On 18 April 2018, TMLAL inducted India's first-of-its-kind metal-to-metal-bonding facility, besides the existing infrastructure. The new facility spreads over an area of {{Convert|4700|m2|acre|abbr=on}} and employs a skilled workforce with a strength of over 80. Additionally, TLMAL also undertook an initiative to increase the indigenisation of the empennage assemblies by transferring the production responsibilities of 2,000 empennage parts from foreign entities to Tata–Sikorsky Aerospace Limited (TSAL), another Tata-Lockheed Martin joint venture. Overall, the joint venture employs 500 people and has an annual capacity of 24 C-130J empennages. As of then, 85 empennages built by TLMAL have been installed on C-130J aircraft delivered by Lockheed Martin to customers around the world, including the Indian Air Force.<ref>{{Cite press release |title=Tata, Lockheed Martin bring new cutting-edge aerospace technology to India |date=2018-04-18 |publisher=Tata Sons |url=https://www.tata.com/newsroom/tata-lockheed-martin-new-cutting-edge-aerospace-technology-to-india |access-date=2025-07-24 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250724145011/https://www.tata.com/newsroom/tata-lockheed-martin-new-cutting-edge-aerospace-technology-to-india |archive-date=2025-07-24}}</ref><ref>{{Cite press release |title=Tata, Lockheed Martin Bring New Cutting-Edge Aerospace Technology to India |date=2018-04-18 |publisher=Lockheed Martin |url=https://news.lockheedmartin.com/2018-04-18-Tata-Lockheed-Martin-Bring-New-Cutting-Edge-Aerospace-Technology-to-India |access-date=2025-07-24 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250724144959/https://news.lockheedmartin.com/2018-04-18-Tata-Lockheed-Martin-Bring-New-Cutting-Edge-Aerospace-Technology-to-India |archive-date=2025-07-24}}</ref><ref name=":7" />

On 10 September 2024, Lockheed Martin and Tata Advanced Systems signed a teaming agreement to strengthen and expand their collaboration on the C-130J Super Hercules programme. The expansion includes the establishment of a Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility to support the C-130J fleet of the Indian Air Force and other global users as well as, beyond manufacturing and assembling components, producing the entire aircraft in India to support Lockheed Martin's campaign for the Indian Air Force's Medium Transport Aircraft (MTA).
