The years-long search of an Indian-made high-performance fighter engine has gained new momentum with a new offer from Rolls-Royce. Rolls-Royce is now proposing a more comprehensive and ambitious model of collaboration that would set up the Indian domestic aero-engine ecosystem as opposed to any single platform.
This engine would be custom-built according to the operating requirements of the Indian fighter jets, the production capacities, and the long-term sustainment requirements.
