Paninian Launches Yantur 4.5 kN Turbofan Engine Programme, India's First Private Development
Paninian India Private Limited has launched the Yantur 4.5 kN turbofan engine programme, marking India's first private-sector development in this category. Designed to power the Svayatt L1 autonomous cruise missile under the Ministry of Defence's Make-I initiative, the programme has completed design phases and is advancing to testing and certification. The engine core may be scaled up to 12.5 kN for other platforms, aiming to build indigenous compact turbofan propulsion capabilities and enhance national aerospace self-reliance.
