VERY GOOD NEWS
Rolls-Royce Hunts For More Tie-Ups In India
The British aerospace major Rolls Royce is currently trying to rope in Indian firms to create a second engineering and design services unit in India. Rolls Royce Group is said to be in the process of creating a series of new engine design, analysis and development programmes and is reviewing various firms for sub-contracting.
Presently, Rolls-Royce has a commitment to offset 50 per cent of its research and development requirements to Indian design companies under Indias $10 billion defence programme. Due to this, Rolls Royce is already scouting for potential local firms that can fulfill its sub-contracting needs. Rolls Royce is looking to economical aeronautical engineering solutions and aims to create another engineering and design services division in India.
According to sources, Rolls Royce is also looking to de-risk its outsourced design portfolio by allotting work to more than one vendor. It is presently in the process of evaluating potential Indian companies, sources added.
Rolls Royce has its presence in India through Quest Global which is a $76 million Bangalore-based engineering services firm. Quest Global has been functioning as a dedicated engineering development centre for Rolls-Royce since 2005 and supports various aerospace engine programmes.
Besides, the state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has had licence production partnership with Rolls Royce since the 1950s and has been involved in the maintenance of the Avon, Adour, Gnome and Dart aero engines.
In mid 2009, Rolls-Royce successfully installed and tested the Adour Mk 821 engine in a Jaguar aircraft to prove its capability and suitability for the IAFs Jaguar upgrade requirement. The Mk 821 included several technology inserts military programmes and specifically designed for the Indian operational requirements,offering the twin benefits of greater thrust and lower life cycle costs. The Adour engine has been developed by Rolls-Royce Turbomeca and the Mk 871 variant is currently in licensed production with HAL for the Hawk Advaned Jet Trainer (AJT).
As of now, HAL will also manufacture the Adour 871 engine for the new Indian Air Force (IAF) Hawks under a new licence agreement with Rolls-Royce. Rolls Royce Group will shortly be opening new purchase offices in India to increase its sourcing and procurement activities.
