The main program of PTDI in 1976 was to manufacture the under licensed of NC212-200 from CASA, Spain. As many as 103 NC212-200s of civilian and military versions had been produced by PTDI.

Between 2004-2008, all necessary jigs and fixture for NC212-400 have been relocated to Bandung from San Pablo, Spain. PTDI became the single source producer of the NC212 family. Since 2014, PTDI has no longer produced the NC212-200 and NC212-400, and also PTDI has upgraded the aircraft into a more advanced NC212i version.

PT Dirgantara Indonesia has produced many NC212-200s of civilian and military. But now, PT Dirgantara Indonesia is the sole manufacturer of NC212-200 and NC212-400 which has now upgraded the aircraft to a more advanced version of NC212i. Equipped with the ability to make artificial rain, it can be used for VIP transport, medical evacuation, sea pollution monitoring and control, and cargo/logistics delivery.
