Make in India Gets Wings: Reliance-Dassault to Build Falcon 2000 Jets Locally, First Delivery by 2028

-

In a major boost to India’s "Make in India" and defense manufacturing vision, Anil Ambani-led Reliance Infrastructure has joined hands with French aerospace giant Dassault Aviation to manufacture Falcon 2000 business jets on Indian soil. This marks a significant step forward for India’s aerospace sector, with the first Indian-assembled Falcon 2000 jet slated for delivery in 2028.



A Strategic Partnership Takes Flight

The collaboration between Dassault and Reliance isn’t new. The two companies previously partnered for the offset commitments related to the Rafale fighter jet deal. Now, their alliance is expanding into the civil aviation segment—this time targeting the premium business jet market with the production of the Falcon 2000 series, a popular choice among global corporate leaders for its blend of performance, luxury, and reliability.

The manufacturing will be carried out at Dassault Reliance Aerospace Limited (DRAL), located in Nagpur, Maharashtra. This facility, already operational, has been playing a role in producing parts for both military and civilian aircraft. The Falcon 2000 project will be its most significant civil aviation milestone yet.

Why Falcon 2000?

The Falcon 2000 is a twin-engine business jet renowned for its advanced avionics, comfort, and range. It can fly over 6,000 km non-stop and operates efficiently in both short and long-haul segments. It’s a go-to aircraft for business tycoons, governments, and high-end charter services worldwide.

India as a Manufacturing Hub

With this venture, India is poised to become a key node in the global supply chain for luxury aircraft. The project not only aligns with India’s ambition to become an aerospace manufacturing hub but also signals increasing confidence of global aviation giants in India's industrial capabilities.

Local manufacturing of high-end jets will also generate skilled jobs, enhance technological capabilities, and create opportunities for ancillary industries. It could also reduce India's dependency on imports for executive and defense aircraft in the long run.

Looking Ahead: 2028 and Beyond

The first Made-in-India Falcon 2000 is expected to roll out by 2028, setting the tone for more ambitious aerospace collaborations in the future. As India's aviation sector—both civil and military—continues to grow, this project may well be a turning point, shifting India from a buyer to a builder of sophisticated aviation platforms.

This partnership is not just about manufacturing jets—it's about building the future of Indian aviation.

  With the Test series now 1–2 in England’s favour, India are reportedly tipping the scales with one straightforward change — replacing struggling No. 3 Karun Nair with the talented 23‑year‑old B Sai Sudharsan.   Veteran voices like Deep Dasgupta are backing this, saying: “If there is only one [change], it would be replacing Karun Nair with Sai Sudharsan. Because Karun Nair hasn’t made any runs” .   đź“Š Why Nair’s Spot Is Under Pressure Across six innings, Nair has 131 runs at just 21.8, with no conversion into big scores . His dismissal at Lord’s—leaving an unthreatening ball—sparked fresh doubts.
