Joint venture planned for manufacturing gas turbines - The Hindu
HAL, BHEL and DRDO to work on the project
Public sector behemoths Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. (HAL) and Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd. (BHEL), along with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), are exploring a joint venture to design, develop, and manufacture gas turbines for many critical uses in the country.
Teams from these agencies are working on the details of such a venture, which can create a large, vital Indian capability for gas turbines.
They are also crafting a technology road map in this area, assessing infrastructure and expertise available in the country as well as identifying a suitable technology to acquire or develop for the country, persons close to the development told The Hindu .
Gas turbines are used across civil and military sectors, such as in large passenger aircraft, fighter aircraft and ships, besides industrial and power sectors.

- The agencies are crafting a road map to fill critical technology gap
- At present, there is no comprehensive indigenous technology on gas turbines
