India opens its first African defense plant in Morocco, producing armored vehicles with local assembly and strategic partnerships.
India inaugurated its first defense manufacturing plant on African soil in Berrechid, Morocco, through a joint venture with Tata Advanced Systems, marking a milestone in its global defense strategy.
The facility, operational three months early, produces advanced 8x8 wheeled armored vehicles developed with India’s DRDO, with deliveries to Morocco’s armed forces set to begin soon.
The project, aligned with India’s “Make in India” and “Make with Friends” initiatives, emphasizes local integration, with nearly one-third of components sourced and assembled in Morocco, aiming to increase to 50%.
Defense Minister Rajnath Singh hailed the venture as a strategic partnership fostering job creation, local industrial growth, and long-term capacity-building.
The inauguration, part of Singh’s first-ever official visit to Morocco, underscores expanding bilateral ties in defense, renewable energy, IT, and tourism, positioning Morocco as a gateway to Africa and global markets.
