hales has been operating in India since 1953. The Group participated in the creation of Bharat Electronics Ltd. and has been a constant partner of the Indian Armed Forces ever since. After opening its first permanent representative office in Delhi in 1970, Thales created a service company in 2003: Thales International Pvt Ltd, with the aim to develop in India customer support and services. A further initiative in 2006 was the creation of a new joint venture, Rolta Thales Ltd. (RTL), in the field of C4ISR, defence and homeland security. The JV is located in Mumbai. Furthermore, in 2008 Thales signed with Samtel, a JV agreement to locally develop and produce Helmet Mounted Sight and Display Systems and modern avionics for the defence market. This second JV, based in Noida, is the basis for all future aerospace development in India. All Thales entities, except JV, were incorporated in 2008 under Thales India Pvt Ltd. Today,
