India Advances Indigenous Jet Engine Development for Defence Applications
India has advanced its indigenous aerospace capabilities with two key developments. The Defence Research and Development Organisation's Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE), in partnership with private firms like Azad Engineering, has developed a 350 kg thrust turbojet engine for cruise missiles and UAVs. Separately, a joint Safran-GTRE venture proposes a 120 kN thrust fighter jet engine, aiming for full intellectual property ownership and strategic autonomy. These efforts mark significant progress toward self-reliance in critical propulsion technologies for military applications.
