Dassault Aviation, the renowned French aircraft manufacturer famous for its Rafale fighter planes, has taken a significant step towards expanding its presence in the Indian market. On Wednesday, the company announced the establishment of a new subsidiary dedicated exclusively to military Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) operations in India.
The newly formed entity, officially named Dassault Aviation MRO India (DAMROI), represents a strategic move by Dassault to cater specifically to the needs of the Indian Air Force. This wholly-owned subsidiary of Dassault Aviation will focus on providing customized services for the maintenance of India’s Rafale and Mirage 2000 fleets.
Dassault’s decision to establish DAMROI is closely aligned with several key initiatives and objectives of the Indian government:
The creation of DAMROI aims to promote indigenous value-added services within India. This aligns with the country’s broader goals of achieving greater self-reliance and self-sufficiency in defence capabilities.
By establishing a local subsidiary, Dassault is taking a significant step towards realizing the “Make in India” initiative. This move positions India as an increasingly important player in the global aerospace supply chain.
DAMROI has plans to implement comprehensive training and education programmes under the government’s “Skill India” scheme. This reflects Dassault’s commitment to nurturing local talent and contributing to the development of India’s skilled workforce in the aerospace sector.
The establishment of DAMROI creates a unique opportunity to combine Dassault’s technological expertise with India’s growing aerospace capabilities:
