Hyderabad: In a significant boost for '
Make in India
' and 'Atmanirbharta' in the aerospace and defence sector, and Hyderabad's growing stature as a global aerospace hub, the complete fuselage of the Rafale fighter jet will now be made in India at Hyderabad.
This move marks the first time that these Rafale components will be manufactured outside France for the Indian as well as global markets.
French aerospace major Dassault Aviation has signed four production transfer agreements with Tata Advanced Systems Ltd (TASL) for manufacturing key sections of the Rafale fighter jet, including the lateral shells of the rear fuselage, the complete rear section, the central fuselage, and the front section.
TASL will set up a dedicated production facility to manufacture the complete fuselage of the Rafale fighter jet, with a capacity to deliver up to two complete fuselages every month. The first of these fuselage sections is slated to begin rolling off the assembly from 2027-28.
TASL and Dassault said in a joint statement on Thursday that the move marks a significant step in strengthening India's aerospace manufacturing capabilities and supporting global supply chains.

The proposed facility will serve as a critical hub for high-precision manufacturing, they added.
"This is a decisive step in strengthening our supply chain in India," said Dassault Aviation chairman & CEO Eric Trappier. "...this supply chain will contribute to the successful ramp-up of the Rafale and, with our support, will meet our quality and competitiveness requirements."
TASL CEO and managing director Sukaran Singh said the collaboration also reflects the remarkable progress made by India in establishing a modern, robust aerospace manufacturing ecosystem that can support global platforms.
The Rafale fighter jet fuselage is the latest in a string of key civil and military aircraft components being made in Hyderabad, where TASL houses three joint ventures – Tata Boeing Aerospace Ltd (TBAL), Tata Lockheed Martin Aerostructures Ltd (TLMAL), and Tata Sikorsky Aerospace Ltd (TSAL).
Located in Adibatla near the international airport at Shamshabad, TBAL's facility manufactures vertical fin structures for Boeing's 737 family of airplanes and aero-structures for Boeing's AH-64 Apache attack helicopter.
In Feb, TBAL Hyderabad marked an important milestone with the delivery of the 300th fuselage for the Apache. These fuselages are manufactured for customers around the world, including the US Army and the Indian Army.
On the other hand, TLMAL manufactures empennage assemblies or tail structures for Lockheed Martin's C-130J Super Hercules military transport aircraft. The TSAL makes a significant chunk of the components for Sikorsky's S-92 presidential chopper, including cabins and over 5,000 precision components.
Hyderabad also houses manufacturing facilities for French aviation giant Safran. While Safran Aircraft Engines makes rotating turbine seals for the LEAP engine, Safran Electrical & Power makes electrical harnesses for the LEAP engine, Rafale as well as Falcon 10X and Fadec.

How Soham Parekh managed to juggle work between startups without getting caught?
Soham Parekh, an India-based software engineer, has made headlines after admitting to secretly working across dozens of US startups at the same time. Soham Parekh was accused by Suhail Doshi, co‑founder of Mixpanel and Playground AI, of working for multiple startups at the same time.(X/@mhadifilms) The controversy surfaced after entrepreneur Suhail Doshi, in a series of posts on X, called Parekh a 'scammer' who had tricked several startups, including those backed by the Y Combinator accelerator. "PSA: there's a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who works at 3-4 startups at the same time. He's been preying on YC companies and more. Beware," San Francisco-based Suhail Doshi posted on X. He added that Parekh worked briefly at one of his companies and was fired within his first week. It was later revealed that Parekh juggled roles at around 34 different companies, including Alan AI, Synthesia, DynamoAI and often with overlapping job periods. Also Read: Soham Parekh breaks silence: Indian engineer admits to working at multiple startups, says it wasn't to scam anyone Ever since the post on X went viral, more companies shared their story showing how Parekh turned up for a job interview and how he managed to fool them. How Soham Parekh operated? Dhruv Amin, co-founder of AI startup Create, took to X to share the story of how his firm hired Soham Parekh as engineer number five and that he was recommended by a recruiter. Parekh called in sick on the very first day of the job and said he would onboard from home, and gave his address to ship his laptop. "Yes, we hired him. we're building an AI agent in SF. he was eng #5.- recommended by a recruiter, which lent legitimacy. He was eager and crushed our in person pair programming onsite. I believe he's actually a good engineer...I gave offer while waiting for responses for the first (and last) accepted same evening. said he had an nyc trip planned, then would first day at 9:30 am he calls in sick (strange). said he'd onboard from home. gave an address to ship laptop," Dhruv said in a post on X. The first red flag, Dhruv said, was the shipping address. Instead of home, Parekh asked for his laptop to be shipped to a San Francisco office building. Also Read: Why is Indian coder Soham Parekh being accused of 'scamming' US startups? Explained Dhruv, who happened to be on a visit to a doctor, checked the place, which housed industrial spaces and Sync Labs, a YC-backed startup. Meanwhile, Parekh called in sick in the first week, while his GitHub account showed late-night activity on private repositories. Over the days, things got even weirder with Parekh missing meetings, delayed deliverables and made excuses. "He then spent 2 days saying he was working on something from home we knew should have taken him 1/2 a day max. always almost ready, just testing something. Finally it started blocking the main thread. So my co-founder asked to take over his branch to get it done. Almost nothing had been done," Dhruv added. When the firm found out that Soham was working for Sync Labs, they confronted him, only to get a denial. Eventually, when the co-founder called Sync Labs and asked if Soham was working there, the response from the YC company was that he was working from home that day. Dhruv added that Parekh was a good engineer, but the "biggest mistake was lying repeatedly." Soham Parekh responds Soham Parekh, who is at the center of the online storm, has publicly admitted to working for multiple startups full-time. Parekh said that the allegations against him were true and he did it due to his financial circumstances.

No one really likes to work 140 hours a week, right? But I had to do this out of necessity. I was in extremely dire financial circumstances," he said during an interview to tech show TBPN. The controversy has raised concerns on the growing trend of 'overemployment' where people take multiple remote jobs without disclosing them. It has also raised concerns over the hiring culture, especially among the tech startups, that hire people without adequate background checks.

Market manipulation is not going to be tolerated: Sebi Chairman Pandey
Mumbai: Capital markets regulator Sebi chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey on Saturday made it clear that market manipulation is not going to be tolerated. Speaking with reporters a day after an interim order against New York-based hedge fund manager Jane Street , Pandey said surveillance has been increased both by the regulator and also at the exchange level. When asked if similar patterns have been seen with other foreign portfolio investors as well, Pandey said, "All what I can say that market manipulation is not going to be tolerated". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mountain Gear for Extreme Conditions Trek Kit India Learn More Undo Sebi on Friday barred US-based Jane Street Group from the securities markets and directed the group to disgorge unlawful gains of Rs 4,843 crore for allegedly manipulating stock indices through positions taken in the derivatives segment. This could be the highest disgorgement amount ever directed by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi). Live Events In its interim order, the regulator has debarred JSI Investments, JSI2 Investments Pvt Ltd, Jane Street Singapore Pte Ltd, and Jane Street Asia Trading -- entities collectively referred to as the Jane Street Group -- from trading until further notice, while continuing its investigation. Addressing an event organised by the Bombay Chartered Accountants Society here, the Sebi chief made it clear that transparency in disclosing related party transactions, managing conflicts of interest and presenting material developments in a timely manner are "non-negotiable responsibilities" for the CAs. "You have a critical responsibility to ensure that corporate governance is not reduced to a checklist," he advised the CAs. He also spoke in favour of not having too much of compliance. "We are also mindful that too much of information, too much of compliance adds to a big compliance burden which may not actually serve the interest that we really intend to serve," he said. "We would also like to see wherever we have the possibility of doing better results with less compliance, less information, less onerous responsibility and less micromanagement on the part of regulator," he said, adding that all the suggestions will be welcome.
