In a recent report, it was revealed that French aircraft manufacturer Dassault Aviation is establishing a state-of-the-art maintenance, repair, and overhaul (#MRO) facility near Noida. The facility is set to provide comprehensive support for French-origin #fighter #jets in the Indian Air Force, including the Rafale and Mirage 2000. This move is expected to significantly bolster the #operational #readiness of the IAF’s fleet and enhance the long-term #maintenance infrastructure for these advanced #aircraft in India.

In a notable advancement for Noida's development, Dassault Aviation's MRO facility is set to be established near the upcoming Jewar International Airport. This initiative marks a significant boost for India's Make-in-India campaign, as the French aerospace giant, Dassault Aviation SA, secures land for setting up a Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facility for Mirage 2000 and Rafale fighters. The French government, under President Emmanuel Macron, along with Dassault, has proposed to manufacture Rafale jets with components sourced locally within India. With India's existing base maintenance depots, repair facilities, and simulators already in place, the country's defense infrastructure is poised to support this expansion. This strategic development not only bolsters India's defense capabilities but also paves the way for export opportunities, further solidifying the robust ties between India and France. #noida #anothemilestone

India has made significant strides in positioning itself as a global hub for the #maintenance, #repair, and #overhaul (MRO) of military aircraft, with ambitious plans to double its MRO industry to $4 billion by 2030. This growth is being driven by international #aerospace giants like France's Dassault Aviation, and US-based Lockheed Martin and Boeing, which have either announced or hinted at major #investments in the Indian market. Currently, India accounts for $2 billion of the global MRO business. This insight was originally reported in this article discussing India's growing role in the global #MRO sector. https://lnkd.in/gc-AcAGh

India is rapidly establishing itself as a global hub for military aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO), aiming to double its MRO industry to $4 billion by 2030. Major and big international players like Dassault Aviation, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing are investing heavily in the Indian market, which currently represents $2 billion of the global MRO sector. This growth not only boosts the economy but also strengthens India's defense capabilities.

Indian MRO space is growing, inch by inch- day by day. After IAI - Israel Aerospace Industries decision to come up with an MRO facility in India, another OEM, this time Dassault Aviation is all set to acquire land near the upcoming Noida International Airport to build an #MRO facility for India's Mirage 2000 and Rafale fighter. The #MROfacility at Jewar will also overhaul older Mirage 2000 jets in India, for which India is going to several countries to acquire older #airframes for cannibalisation. The Indian Air Force already operates 36 #Rafalejets, which were bought in 2016, India's most technologically advanced jets. The Indian Navy is also looking to buy 26 of these jets worth $5 billion. A negotiating team for deciding the final price of these jets was earlier in India. Dassault is also in the race to sell 114 fighter jets to #IAF under the multi-role fighter aircraft (#MRFA) contest. The setting up of #MROfacilities by #OEMs is a testament that India is a budding #MROmarket and now is the time to #investinindia Government of India Official Ministry of Defense, Government of India Narendra Modi MRO Association of India Feldzer Vadim Stéphane Fort Severine MONDY David Raju Philippe Cheron Rohit Tomar Seemaa S Vedaak Veena Chawla Rinaldo Rhine #MRO #maintenance #repair #overhaul #MROhub #aerospacehub #componentmanufacturing #FAL #investinindia #makeinindia

With GE and Safran poised for significant technology transfer to HAL(80-100%), could we soon also witness the emergence of a homegrown commercial aircraft? CFM International, a 50/50 joint company between Safran Aircraft Engines and GE produces engine for A320 neo aircrafts and are also market leaders in fighter jet engines. HAL's track record in producing fighter jets and helicopters for the Indian defense forces, as well as for export, further strengthens India's aerospace capabilities. #aerospace #technologytransfer #hal #commercialaircraft #ge #safran #a320neo #fighterjets #goi #aviation #india #makeinindia #investing #defenseindustry #defensestocks #marketinsights #oyeamiko #technology #linkedin

According to a recent article, Dassault Aviation MRO India (DAMROI), a subsidiary of Dassault Aviation, has been established in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, to cater to the needs of the Indian Air Force (IAF). DAMROI will provide tailor-made products and #services to support the IAF’s Mirage 2000 fleet and other #fighter #aircraft supplied by Dassault in India. This move is aimed at ensuring optimal responsiveness and efficiency in fulfilling the IAF's #operational requirements. The article highlights that DAMROI was created under the Indian government's “Atmanirbhar Bharat” policy, which promotes self-reliance and indigenous services. Benefiting from Dassault Aviation’s #technological expertise, DAMROI is expected to foster collaboration and cooperation, with the ultimate goal of becoming a vital contributor to India’s growing #aerospace and #defense ecosystem.

Dassault Aviation has decided to create a company dedicated exclusively to maintenance, repair and overall (MRO) of its military activities. This company, Dassault Aviation MRO India (DAMROI), incorporated in India and based in Noida (Uttar Pradesh), is a subsidiary of Dassault Aviation. It is committed to meeting the needs of the Indian Air Force by offering tailor-made products and services to support its Mirage 2000 fleet and, more broadly, the fighter aircraft supplied by Dassault Aviation in India, in order to guarantee the best possible responsiveness and efficiency in fulfilling its requirements. Created under the “Atmanirbhar Bharat” policy to contribute to India’s self-reliance and promote indigenous value-added services, DAMROI will benefit from Dassault Aviation’s technological expertise and offer new opportunities for cooperation and collaboration with the aim of becoming a key player in participating to a full-fledged aero defence ecosystem in India. Alongside a significant industrial input to positioning India as an international aerospace supplier under the “Make in India” policy and a full commitment to the “Skill India” initiative through the implementation of training and education programs, this new step shows Dassault Aviation’s determination to make its presence in India, a success and to contribute to India’s strategic vision for its future. #military #defense #defence #militaryleak https://lnkd.in/g2hMXSDY

𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁-𝗚𝗲𝗻 𝗙𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁 The Cabinet Committee on Security has given the green light for the development of the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA), marking a significant step forward in India's quest for indigenous fifth-generation fighter jets. Led by the Aeronautical Development Agency and Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd., this ambitious project has been allocated a substantial budget of 150 trillion rupees ($1.8 billion) to launch the AMCA through full-scale design, development, flight testing, and certification. With five prototypes in the pipeline and the maiden flight anticipated by the end of 2028, the AMCA is set to redefine India's aerial capabilities. The Indian Air Force's endorsement of seven squadrons of these stealthy fighters highlights the strategic importance of the AMCA in promoting India's defense capabilities. While series production may commence around 2035, experts like K.P Sanjeev Kumar emphasize the need for a realistic timeline, suggesting final operational clearance may not be achieved until 2040 or beyond. With the AMCA set to feature advanced technologies, including General Electric F414 engines and supersonic cruising capabilities, India's aerospace industry is poised for a transformative leap forward. As the second domestic fighter program following the Tejas, the AMCA represents a crucial milestone in India's journey towards self-reliance in defense production. Amidst geopolitical challenges and evolving security threats, the AMCA emerges as a vital asset in safeguarding India's sovereignty and national interests. Photo by Gordon Arthur / Staff
