Indian Defense Giant Tata to Establish Military Vehicle Factory in Morocco

Tata Advance Systems has created an SARL called Tata Advanced Systems Maroc Construction. Its mission is the "construction of military combat vehicles, studies, development, production, integration and assembly of all military vehicles, equipment and related elements," reports Le Desk. Registered since April 2024 with the Casablanca Commercial Court, this company will have to produce Indian vehicles that will be supplied to the Moroccan army. TATA Advance Systems had supplied the Moroccan army with LPTA-715 tactical military transport trucks in 2022 and 90 Tata LPTA 2445 6x6 tactical transport trucks at the beginning of the following year.

The establishment of Tata Advance Systems in Morocco follows the signing in 2023 of an agreement between the kingdom and Indian companies for the construction of Indian vehicles that will be supplied to the Moroccan army. Advanced negotiations are underway with Indian companies for the on-site production in Morocco of armored vehicles for the benefit of the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces and the armies of other African countries, said Moroccan Minister of Investment, Mohsen Jazouli, during an official visit to India. Since King Mohammed VI’s visit to India in October 2015, Rabat and New Delhi have strengthened their military cooperation.
