Thales’s participation at Aero India this year reaffirms our engagement to the significant modernisation and indigenisation unfolding in the Indian aerospace and defence sector. We are committed to contribute to the ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ vision and will showcase our high-end technology solutions across aerospace, defence as well as space in that spirit.

Thales has expanded its presence in India. What does its future in India look like currently, especially given the ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi?

As India progresses towards its goal of becoming Aatmanirbhar, constructive measures are being taken across sectors including defence. These measures along with the collective efforts of the industry will pave the way for long-term success of India’s indigenous defence sector.

For seven decades, Thales has been India’s trusted partner, sustaining its growth story by sharing technologies and expertise in defence, aerospace, transport and digital identity & security markets. Thales continues to develop a mature industrial footprint in the country through a diverse range of high-tech products, services, and collaborations with the Indian industry and academia. The Group has been proudly supporting the Indian armed forces’ modernisation efforts, helping them to prepare for, achieve, and maintain tactical superiority over any form of risk.
