How do you plan to take this partnership to the next level?
We are transforming aviation with the most technologically advanced engines on the commercial engines, military engines, small jet and turboprop engines, and other general, regional and civilian powered flight engines. With 26 development and production engine programs, today is one of the most exciting chapters in our history.

As a long-cycle business, we have made substantial investments in the future of jet engines for commercial and military use and will continue to make significant investments to improve jet engine technology, which will power the industry for decades to come.

We are slated to have hundreds of Geared Turbofan engines powering aircraft here in India. This will be one of the largest install bases for our GTF engine on aircraft. We are honoured to be here and work hard every day with our customers, employees, the authorities and government officials to deliver on our commitments.
