ISRAEL AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES (IAI) HAS EXPANDED ITS footprint in India with the launch of AeroSpace Services India (ASI) in New Delhi, a move that underscores its commitment to strengthening ties with the Indian defence sector. The inauguration of ASI, aligning with India's 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiative for self-reliance in defence manufacturing, marks a significant milestone in the partnership between IAI and India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
As the sole authorised OEM's Technical Representative for the Medium Range Surface-to-Air Missile (MRSAM) system, ASI operates in Indian Rupees, streamlining transactions for defence systems jointly developed by IAI and DRDO. Boaz Levy, President and CEO of IAI, expressed pride in ASI's role in advancing India's self-reliance goals, under the leadership of CEO Danny Lauber and a predominantly Indian workforce. With strategically located branches across the subcontinent, ASI aims for comprehensive service coverage and prompt customer support.
The event saw the presence of Noar Gilon, Ambassador of Israel to India, highlighting the evolution of strategic relations between the two nations, particularly in defence cooperation, facilitated by IAI's involvement. Vice Admiral B. Sivakumar, the Chief Guest, envisioned efficient repair processes and emphasized the importance of product support, praising the reliability of MR-systems in challenging environments.
The occasion also witnessed the participation of senior officials from DRDO, BEL, BDL, and the industry, reflecting the collaborative efforts driving advancements in defence technology and fostering enduring partnerships between India and Israel.
