The Indian company Tata Advanced Systems has completed the administrative procedures necessary to establish a factory dedicated to the production of military vehicles in Morocco, Rue20 newspaper reported.
Tata Advanced Systems has already sent 90 6x6 vehicles to the Royal Armed Forces (FAR) to transport equipment, ammunition and troops.
Morocco signed an agreement with Indian companies more than a year ago to build military vehicles to supply the Moroccan army. According to Mohsen Al-Jazouli, Minister Delegate in charge of Investment, this cooperation includes joint production in Morocco to meet local demand, as well as expansion into African and European markets, according to what the Moroccan newspaper reported.
To achieve these goals, a new entity has been created, a joint venture called Tata Advanced Systems Maroc Construction, which will focus on the construction, development, production and integration of military vehicles in Morocco.
This new development represents an important step in Morocco's plans to become a regional center for the production of military vehicles, as well as the growing strategic partnership between Morocco and India in the defense sector.
The annual rate of Indian exports to Morocco has increased by 13.1% over the past 26 years. For its part, Morocco exported goods worth $2.1 billion to India, including products such as phosphoric acid, mineral fertilizers or mixed chemicals, and calcium phosphate.
