In June 2025, Dassault Aviation signed a partnership agreement with Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) which has led to the creation of a production facility in Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh) dedicated to manufacturing fuselage for the Rafale fighter jet.
Dassault Reliance Aerospace Limited (DRAL) is now 51% owned by Dassault Aviation. Its operations, based in Nagpur, Maharashtra, continue to expand: DRAL will become the first Falcon Center of Excellence outside of France, manufacturing the forward fuselage for the Falcon 2000, 8X, and 6X aircraft.
