Dassault, India's Tata Sign Engineering Deal

Dassault, India's Tata Sign Engineering Deal (NSI News Source Info) PARIS - December 8, 2008: French aircraft manufacturer Dassault Aviation said on Monday it had signed a deal for the outsourcing of engineering services with India's Tata Technologies, the parent of engineering services company INCAT. The agreement will see INCAT provide Dassault with engineering services in several "critical domains" linked to the Indian Air Force's medium multi-role combat aircraft (MMRCA) programme, for which six manufacturers are competing. Dassault is offering its Rafale combat aircraft. Dassault said in a statement the MMRCA programme contains significant offset requirements -- a proportion of work linked to the contract must be given to Indian companies.
