WASHINGTON (Dispatches) -- Tata, India’s largest conglomerate is “at the heart” of the India-Israel military alliance and “fundamentally embedded in the architecture of occupation, surveillance, and dispossession” of Palestinians, according to a new report released Saturday by U.S.-based activists. 
The report, Architects of Occupation: The Tata Group, Indian Capital, and the India-Israel Alliance, released by Salam, a South Asian political collective, in New York, called the Indian business empire “a key enabler” of Israel’s system of control over Palestinians.
Tata’s involvement spans across the arms, defense, and digital technology sectors, the research says. 
“The conglomerate’s complicity is comprehensive, providing the hardware of genocide, the machinery of daily oppression, and the digital backbone of apartheid. Through its subsidiary, Tata Advanced Systems Ltd (TASL), it is a core global provider of wings for all new F-16 fighter jets and fuselages for all AH-64 Apache attack helicopters — the primary aircraft used by the Israeli Air Force to bombard Gaza,” the report prepared by Salam states.
TASL, through its partnership with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), also manufactures the critical command systems for the Barak-8 missile, a weapon actively deployed by the Israeli Navy, they report shows.
In the automotive sector, Tata Motors, through its subsidiary Jaguar Land Rover, supplies the foundational chassis for MDT David light armored vehicles, used by Israeli forces in patrols, raids, and crowd suppression across the occupied West Bank, the report claims.
Tata’s contributions are not neutral business ventures but “core components of Israel’s hardware of genocide and machinery of daily oppression.”
On the digital front, the study says, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) provides crucial infrastructure to Israel’s financial and governmental systems, including involvement in Project Nimbus, a controversial cloud computing program that supports Israeli surveillance and control of Palestinians.
Tata’s business operations are “not isolated economic partnerships but integrated within Israel’s occupation economy and global war industries.”
The findings place Tata in a developing defense network connecting India, Israel, and the United States.
