As Rafael
commemorates nearly 30 years of collaboration in India, we reflect on a journey
marked by shared success and deep rooted partnerships. Over the decades, we
have delivered advanced, combat proven systems that continue to serve India's
defence forces, a testament to the resilience and reliability of our solutions.
Our enduring
commitment to India is more than just operational—it's strategic. Since 2014,
Rafael has fully embraced the Make in India initiative. Through our
subsidiaries, Kalyani Rafael Advanced Systems (KRAS) and Astra Rafael Comsys
(ARC), we have heavily invested in local manufacturing, technology transfer and
knowledge sharing. This collaboration not only is designed to enhance India's
defence capabilities but also contributes significantly to its economic growth
and self-reliance.
At Aero India
2025, Rafael is showcasing its latest advancements in air defence, precision guided
solutions and electronic warfare. Our focus remains on innovation, driven by
substantial R&D investments to provide cutting edge technologies that
secure critical assets while fostering local Indian partnerships.
Looking ahead,
we envision India becoming a global hub for defence exports, a transformation
supported by robust ecosystems we help create. The modernisation and growth of
India's defence industry inspire confidence, and we at Rafael are proud to
stand alongside our partners on this remarkable journey.
We are deeply
grateful for the trust and collaboration we have shared over the years. As we
continue to innovate and grow together, Rafael remains committed to
strengthening its partnerships with the Government of India, the Ministry of
Defence, and our esteemed local partners.
Here's to many
more years of shared success and innovation!
