India and UK to Sign Pact on Electric Propulsion for Indian Navy Ships
India and the United Kingdom are set to sign an inter-governmental agreement to develop Integrated Full Electric Propulsion (IFEP) technology for four Landing Platform Docks planned for the Indian Navy. British firm GE Vernova, in partnership with Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, will establish India's first maritime land-based testing facility for IFEP. This technology allows flexible power distribution across propulsion and other systems, enhancing future warships' capabilities. The agreement follows a November 2024 Statement of Intent on cooperation in electric propulsion design and development.
