The move aligns with India’s “Atmanirbhar Bharat” initiative, which promotes self-reliance and the development of indigenous capabilities. Dassault Aviation stated that DAMROI will offer tailor-made products and services to ensure rapid and efficient support for the IAF, highlighting the company’s commitment to meeting the nation’s strategic defence needs.
Incorporating Dassault’s advanced technological expertise, DAMROI is poised to foster new opportunities for cooperation and collaboration within India’s defence sector. The company aims to become a key player in developing a robust aerospace ecosystem in India, contributing to the country’s long-term defence and industrial goals.
“DAMROI represents a significant step in Dassault Aviation’s efforts to deepen its presence in India. We are fully committed to supporting India’s vision for the future, including strengthening its position as an international aerospace supplier,” said a Dassault Aviation spokesperson.
In addition to its industrial contributions, the new subsidiary will also play a vital role in skills development. In line with India’s “Skill India” initiative, DAMROI will implement training and education programmes, aimed at cultivating a highly skilled workforce in the aviation and defence sectors.
Dassault Aviation’s latest venture also aligns with India’s “Make in India” policy, which seeks to boost domestic manufacturing. By establishing a local MRO company, the aerospace firm underscores its intention to support India’s ambition of becoming a global aerospace hub, while enhancing the country’s defence capabilities.
This development follows decades of collaboration between Dassault Aviation and India, with the Mirage 2000 being a key element of the IAF’s arsenal. DAMROI’s creation marks a further deepening of this relationship and represents a long-term commitment to India’s strategic vision for self-reliance in defence and aerospace.
The new subsidiary is expected to serve as a catalyst for further investments and partnerships in India’s growing aerospace sector, positioning DAMROI as an integral player in the country’s defence ecosystem.
