Can you share Thales’ growing presence in India?

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

For close to seven decades, Thales has been partnering the Indian growth story by sharing its technologies and expertise in defence, aerospace, transport and digital identity and security markets. Over the years, it has developed a mature industrial footprint in the country’s defence sector via a diverse range of high-tech products, services, and collaborations. The organisation has been proudly supporting the Indian armed services’ modernisation efforts, aiding them in preparing for, achieving and maintaining tactical superiority over any form of risk, all with the purpose to build a future that everyone can put their trust in.
