According to Rolls-Royce, the new centre aligns with its strategy to double sourcing from India within five years, integrating more Indian suppliers into its global supply chain. The company’s legacy in Karnataka dates back to a 1956 agreement with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). Today, over 1,400 Rolls-Royce engines power Indian Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, and Army platforms, with 2,000 highly skilled engineers contributing to its global development programmes.
The inauguration was attended by Rolls-Royce CFO Helen McCabe and British High Commissioner to India, Lindy Cameron, reaffirming the UK’s commitment to deepening aerospace and defence collaboration with India.
