India to Build Rafale Fuselage: Dassault-Tata Join Forces in Hyderabad

India takes a major leap in defense manufacturing as French aviation giant Dassault Aviation partners with Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) to produce Rafale fighter jet fuselages in Hyderabad. This historic agreement marks the first time critical Rafale components will be manufactured outside France, making India a pivotal player in global aerospace supply chains. The facility will manufacture major fuselage sections and is expected to begin production by 2028. This milestone aligns with the ‘Make in India’ and AtmaNirbhar Bharat missions, strengthening India's strategic autonomy and self-reliance in defense. The move also supports global Rafale demand and boosts India’s role in international military exports. With India expanding its Rafale fleet and diversifying defense partnerships, the deal showcases India’s emergence as a defense manufacturing hub. The partnership is expected to create jobs, transfer technology, and enhance indigenous capabilities. This collaboration is more than a business deal—it’s a bold step in reshaping India's defense landscape.
