Israel Aerospace Industries has launched its Indian subsidiary, Aerospace Services India, with plans to establish a hub for maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of defence equipment in Gurugram, Haryana. Initially, the MRO hub will carry out the maintenance and repair for the entire medium-range surface-to-air missile (MRSAM) system. However, in due course, it will expand beyond MRSAM programme to other defence programmes and other products.

The missile system is produced at Bharat Dynamics, headquartered in Hyderabad, and sees participation from Indian defence industry partners including micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). MRSAM is a joint venture of the firm and Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), and the different variations of the missile is used by the Army, Navy and the Air Force.

Israel Aerospace Industries has been present in India for several years and is engaged in multiple collaborations with Indian agencies and public-sector undertakings regarding the development of defence equipment. In 2023, it signed a MoU with Bharat Electronics (BEL) to tap opportunities in short-range air defence systems.
