Reliance Industries said on Friday it planned to partner with Britain’s Rolls-Royce to develop and manufacture \u200ban engine for India’s fighter jet programme, as the country \u200caims to build its most advanced stealth combat aircraft.<\/p>\n

A prototype of the jet, known as the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft, is expected to roll out in 2028 and play \u200ba key role in India’s future air combat strategy.<\/p>\n

Last year, India approved a framework to build its most advanced stealth fighter jet and \u2060invited interest from defence firms, weeks after a military conflict with \u200bnuclear-armed neighbour Pakistan.<\/p>\n

In a move to reduce its dependence on imported defence equipment, \u200bthe country also opened the door for domestic companies to participate in developing the twin-engine stealth fighter, approving the execution model for the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) programme.<\/p>\n

Under the \u200bproposed partnership announced on Friday, Reliance and Rolls-Royce will explore forming a \u200bdedicated aerospace gas turbine complex in India to jointly develop the engine.<\/p>\n

“Our intent with \u200cRolls-Royce \u2060is to combine their world-leading expertise in advanced propulsion with Reliance’s technology, manufacturing, scale and execution capabilities to build an indigenous aero-engine ecosystem in India,” Reliance Executive Director Anant Ambani said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The announcement potentially positions the \u200bBritish aero-engine maker \u200bagainst France’s Safran, \u2060which has separately proposed a joint venture with India’s state-run GTRE to develop a higher-thrust engine for later versions \u200bof the AMCA fighter.<\/p>\n

Hindustan Aeronautics manufactures the 4.5-generation Tejas \u200bfighter jet, \u2060but has faced slow engine deliveries from General Electric due to supply chain issues faced by the US firm.<\/p>\n

Rolls-Royce, which has previously worked with India on military \u2060propulsion \u200bprogrammes, supplies engines for a range of \u200bdefence and civil aerospace applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A prototype of the jet, known as the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft, is expected to roll out in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":103681,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[20731],"tags":[31044,1238],"class_list":["post-103680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rolls-royce","tag-latest","tag-rolls-royce"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@UnitedKingdom\/117095403509178682","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103680"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103680\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103681"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
