HAL, Rolls-Royce Sign Pact to Supply India-made Adour Engine Parts for Global Markets

India’s Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) signed an agreement with Rolls-Royce for Make-in-India Adour engine parts to support the latter's international defence customer base.

“Through this partnership, Rolls-Royce aims to strengthen the ecosystem for Adour engines in India by building on HAL’s existing capabilities for manufacturing and supporting the Adour engines for Indian customers over several decades. This follows the MoU Signed by Rolls-Royce and HAL during the Aero India 2021 to establish an Authorized Maintenance Center for Adour at HAL to support international military customers and operators,” HAL said in a statement Tuesday.
