The Impressive TimesBerrechid [Morocco] – Defence Minister Rajnath Singh highlighted India’s vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat during his visit to Morocco, stating that the initiative is not limited to domestic manufacturing but also aims to make India a credible source of advanced technology and high-quality products globally.
Singh, alongside Morocco’s Defence Minister Abdelatif Loudyi, inaugurated Tata Advanced Systems Limited’s (TASL) new defence manufacturing facility in Berrechid. Spread over 20,000 square metres, the facility will produce the Wheeled Armoured Platform (WhAP) 8×8, developed jointly by TASL and DRDO.

He emphasized the Make in India and Make with Friends initiatives, aiming to collaborate with trusted partners for global innovation under the ‘Make for the World’ framework.
The facility demonstrates India’s ability to meet domestic requirements while supporting friendly nations’ defence capabilities. Singh added that such partnerships, grounded in trust, respect, and shared aspirations, strengthen bilateral ties and global peace. This visit marks the first-ever trip by an Indian Defence Minister to Morocco.
