This cooperation is positioned to engage in a variety of activities, including helicopter engine design, development, certification, manufacture, sale, and support.
One of the key goals of this joint venture is to supply engines for critical projects like the Indian Multi Role Helicopter (IMRH) and the Deck Based Multi Role Helicopter (DBMRH).
The formation of SAFHAL HELICOPTER ENGINES PRIVATE LIMITED is a significant step toward self-sufficiency and technical improvements in the field of helicopter engine manufacture.
This joint venture not only demonstrates India's commitment to the 'Make in India' policy, but it also has the potential to establish India as a vital participant in the global helicopter engine industry.
Safran Helicopter Engines and HAL's combined efforts are intended to pave the path for cutting-edge breakthroughs in helicopter engine technology and substantially contribute to the nation's aerospace capabilities.
SAFHAL HELICOPTER ENGINES PRIVATE LIMITED is expected to play a crucial role in influencing the future of indigenous helicopter engine manufacture in India as it begins on its journey.
