It represents a shift from final assembly work to precision, high-value engineering\u2014a domain traditionally dominated by established Western and European suppliers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">&#8220;Hical Technologies has demonstrated a strong commitment to quality and reliability\u2014values that strongly align with Dassault Aviation&#8217;s heritage of excellence,&#8221; said Mr. Bruno Coiffier, Senior Executive Vice President for Procurement and Purchasing at Dassault Aviation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">For Media Updates: +91-93531 21474 [WhatsApp] |\u00a0indianowme@gmail.com<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">The contract carries significant strategic weight, reinforcing the longstanding India-France defence partnership while directly contributing to the Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India) vision. By entrusting critical flight control systems to an Indian manufacturer, Dassault has validated the maturity of the country&#8217;s aerospace ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Yashas Jaiveer, Managing Director of Hical Technologies, described the milestone as a testament to indigenous engineering excellence. &#8220;This milestone is a testament to the years of engineering investment, precision manufacturing discipline, and quality culture that our teams at Hical have built. Being entrusted with critical products for the Rafale, one of the most sophisticated fighter aircraft in the world, is a recognition that Indian aerospace manufacturing has arrived on the global stage. We are proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Dassault Aviation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Hical&#8217;s inclusion in the Rafale programme positions India as a strategic contributor to one of the world&#8217;s most operationally active fighter platforms, reinforcing the country&#8217;s ascending role in the global aerospace and defence supply chain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ds-theme\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_7100\" class=\"pvc_stats total_only  \" data-element-id=\"7100\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.0\" viewBox=\"0 0 502 315\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\"><g transform=\"translate(0,332) scale(0.1,-0.1)\" fill=\"\" stroke=\"none\"><path d=\"M2394 3279 l-29 -30 -3 -207 c-2 -182 0 -211 15 -242 39 -76 157 -76 196 0 15 31 17 60 15 243 l-3 209 -33 29 c-26 23 -41 29 -80 29 -41 0 -53 -5 -78 -31z\"\/><path d=\"M3085 3251 c-45 -19 -58 -50 -96 -229 -47 -217 -49 -260 -13 -295 52 -53 146 -42 177 20 16 31 87 366 87 410 0 70 -86 122 -155 94z\"\/><path d=\"M1751 3234 c-13 -9 -29 -31 -37 -50 -12 -29 -10 -49 21 -204 19 -94 39 -189 45 -210 14 -50 54 -80 110 -80 34 0 48 6 76 34 21 21 34 44 34 59 0 14 -18 113 -40 219 -37 178 -43 195 -70 221 -36 32 -101 37 -139 11z\"\/><path d=\"M1163 3073 c-36 -7 -73 -59 -73 -102 0 -56 133 -378 171 -413 34 -32 83 -37 129 -13 70 36 67 87 -16 290 -86 209 -89 214 -129 231 -35 14 -42 15 -82 7z\"\/><path d=\"M3689 3066 c-15 -9 -33 -30 -42 -48 -48 -103 -147 -355 -147 -375 0 -98 131 -148 192 -74 13 15 57 108 97 206 80 196 84 226 37 273 -30 30 -99 39 -137 18z\"\/><path d=\"M583 2784 c-38 -19 -67 -74 -58 -113 9 -42 211 -354 242 -373 16 -10 45 -18 66 -18 51 0 107 52 107 100 0 39 -1 41 -124 234 -80 126 -108 162 -133 173 -41 17 -61 16 -100 -3z\"\/><path d=\"M4250 2784 c-14 -9 -74 -91 -133 -183 -95 -150 -107 -173 -107 -213 0 -55 33 -94 87 -104 67 -13 90 8 211 198 130 202 137 225 78 284 -27 27 -42 34 -72 34 -22 0 -50 -8 -64 -16z\"\/><path d=\"M2275 2693 c-553 -48 -1095 -270 -1585 -649 -135 -104 -459 -423 -483 -476 -23 -49 -22 -139 2 -186 73 -142 361 -457 571 -626 285 -228 642 -407 990 -497 242 -63 336 -73 660 -74 310 0 370 5 595 52 535 111 1045 392 1455 803 122 121 250 273 275 326 19 41 19 137 0 174 -41 79 -309 363 -465 492 -447 370 -946 591 -1479 653 -113 14 -422 18 -536 8z m395 -428 c171 -34 330 -124 456 -258 112 -119 167 -219 211 -378 27 -96 24 -300 -5 -401 -72 -255 -236 -447 -474 -557 -132 -62 -201 -76 -368 -76 -167 0 -236 14 -368 76 -213 98 -373 271 -451 485 -162 444 86 934 547 1084 153 49 292 57 452 25z m909 -232 c222 -123 408 -262 593 -441 76 -74 138 -139 138 -144 0 -16 -233 -242 -330 -319 -155 -123 -309 -223 -461 -299 l-81 -41 32 46 c18 26 49 83 70 128 143 306 141 649 -6 957 -25 52 -61 116 -79 142 l-34 47 45 -20 c26 -10 76 -36 113 -56z m-2057 25 c-40 -58 -105 -190 -130 -263 -110 -324 -59 -707 132 -981 25 -35 42 -64 37 -64 -19 0 -241 119 -326 174 -188 122 -406 314 -532 468 l-58 71 108 103 c185 178 428 349 672 473 66 33 121 60 123 61 2 0 -10 -19 -26 -42z\"\/><path d=\"M2375 1950 c-198 -44 -350 -190 -395 -379 -18 -76 -8 -221 19 -290 114 -284 457 -406 731 -260 98 52 188 154 231 260 27 69 37 214 19 290 -38 163 -166 304 -326 360 -67 23 -215 33 -279 19z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/indianow.me\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dassault Aviation Taps Bengaluru&#8217;s Hical Technologies for Critical Rafale Components in Major Boost to India-France Defence Ties In a significant endorsement of Indian aerospace manufacturing capabilities, French aviation giant Dassault Aviation has signed a long-term contract with Bengaluru-based Hical Technologies to manufacture and supply high-precision control system assemblies for the Rafale fighter aircraft.
