On 23 September 2025, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and his Moroccan counterpart Abdelatif Loudyi inaugurated Tata Advanced Systems Limited’s (TASL) defence manufacturing facility in Berrechid, Morocco.
The plant, Morocco’s largest defence unit and the first by an Indian private company in Africa, will produce Wheeled Armoured Platforms jointly developed by TASL and DRDO for the Royal Moroccan Army, with deliveries starting next month. Singh highlighted the project as a symbol of the India–Morocco strategic partnership, aligned with Aatmanirbhar Bharat, and a hub for exports to Africa and Europe, generating jobs and boosting defence technology collaboration.
