India’s Tata Motors has signed a significant agreement with the Moroccan government to establish a factory for the production of military equipment. This factory will primarily focus on manufacturing the Wheeled Armoured Platform (WHAP) 8×8 infantry fighting vehicle (IFV), which will be used to equip the Moroccan Land Forces.

This marks a major expansion of Tata’s presence in the African defense market. Last year, the Royal Moroccan Army received 90 units of 6×6 trucks from India, manufactured by Tata. The new factory, to be located in Casablanca, will be India’s first overseas defense manufacturing plant.
