Indian firm to make fighter jet engines with Rolls-Royce
Reliance Industries and Rolls-Royce have announced a joint venture to design and manufacture engines for India's indigenous multirole fighter jet programme. Reliance Industries, India's largest private sector company, is expanding into defence production to support Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Make in India' initiative. The partnership marks a significant step towards establishing a self-reliant aerospace ecosystem in India.
Rolls-Royce, a global leader in building engines for commercial and military aircraft, will contribute its expertise in engine design, development, manufacturing, and delivery. The Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) project is India's fifth-generation stealth multirole fighter jet, developed domestically for its air force. The investment scale for this partnership has not been disclosed.
India's defence ministry recently approved a $39 billion purchase of Rafale fighter jets from France, highlighting its commitment to modernising its military. The country's defence budget stands at $85 billion, indicating a strong focus on upgrading its defence capabilities.
