Reliance Infra shares surge 4% after sealing jet deal with Dassault

Shares of Reliance Infrastructure surged 4.2% to touch a day’s high of ₹403 on the BSE on Thursday after the Anil Ambani-led firm announced a strategic tie-up with French aerospace giant Dassault Aviation. As part of the deal, its subsidiary, Reliance Aerostructure, will partner with Dassault to manufacture Falcon 2000 business jets in India.

This collaboration marks a historic first for Dassault, as it will produce Falcon aircraft outside France for the first time. With this move, India joins an elite group of countries—such as the US, France, Canada, and Brazil—that manufacture business jets for global markets.
