Part of the Pune based Indian Seamless group, TAAL was established in 1994 as the first private sector company in the country to manufacture general aviation i.e. non-military aircraft. The company's vision at the time was to create a nucleus facility for the development of an aeronautical industry in India and in particular to promote affordable general aviation in the country. To kick-off this process, TAAL entered into a collaboration with Partenavia of Italy to manufacture the six-seat twin piston-engine P68C aircraft and the eleven-seat twin turbo-prop Viator aircraft.

While TAAL continues to manufacture Light Transport and Trainer Aircraft, the company has since diversified its activities and has established a significant presence in many segments of the aviation and aeronautical industries in India.

TAAL has three distinct Business Divisions, namely, Aerostructures, Airfield & MRO and Aircraft Sales and Support. Each division is run as an independent profit center by a dedicated Business Head.
