Reliance and Rolls-Royce Partner to Develop Indigenous Combat Engine for India's AMCAPreviousNext

Reliance Industries and Rolls-Royce have announced a strategic partnership to jointly develop an indigenous combat engine for India's Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) programme. The collaboration includes plans to establish a dedicated Aerospace Gas Turbine Complex in India, envisioned as a centre of excellence for power and propulsion technology. This initiative aims to build sovereign capabilities in advanced propulsion, supporting India's defence self-reliance and aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Atmanirbhar Bharat vision. The partnership combines Rolls-Royce's expertise with Reliance's manufacturing and execution strengths, marking a significant step toward developing a domestic aero-engine ecosystem.
