Tata Advanced Systems Ltd (TASL) has partnered with France’s Dassault Aviation to manufacture Rafale fighter jet fuselages in India. A new facility in Hyderabad will produce four main fuselage parts, with a capacity of 24 units annually and first deliveries expected by FY28. This marks the first time Rafale fuselages will be made outside France. The move is part of a broader effort to bring up to 60% of Rafale manufacturing value to India. Over 100 fuselages are expected initially, with numbers likely to rise if India places more orders. The deal enhances India's aerospace manufacturing ecosystem significantly. (PC: Economics Times)
