MADC finalises draft MoU, to pave way for Rafael aircraft service centre in MIHAN SEZ

MAHARASHTRA AIRPORT Development Company (MADC) on Tuesday finalised the draft of a pact to be signed with Dassault Reliance Aerospace Express Limited (DRAL) to facilitate it to sub-lease a part of its plot in Multi-modal International Hub Airport at Nagpur (MIHAN) special economic zone (SEZ) to Dassault Aviation.

This will pave the way for the French company to set up its Rafale fighter aircraft servicing centre.

Deepak Kapoor, MADC managing director, told The Indian Express, “We have finalised the draft of the pact today (Tuesday). After the pact is signed, DRAL will pay some premium to us to qualify for sub-leasing part of their land in MIHAN to Dassault Aviation. The French company is expected to come up with its Rafale fighter aircraft servicing centre in the next one to one-and-a-half years.”
