Pune: More than two months after Pune-based Defence Institute of Advanced Technology (DIAT) announced that it would sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with French aircraft manufacturer Dassault Aviation on March 12, the proposed tie-up is yet to take place.
“There are certain constraints from both the sides which are being addressed,” officiating vice-chancellor, DIAT, Hina Gokhale said.
“A delegation from the French company is scheduled to visit our institute soon and we will have a detailed deliberation. We are confident of signing the MoU soon,” she said.
The proposed tie-up envisages a two-year training, including a year-long stint in France, for select DIAT students who will then join the Dassault-Reliance aerospace manufacturing facility coming up at the Mihan SEZ in Nagpur.
The facility, set up under a joint venture between Reliance Infrastructure and Dassault Aviation, will manufacture several components of the offset obligation connected to the purchase of 36 Rafale fighters from France.
