Safran Helicopter Engines and Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) have signed a workshare agreement for the joint development of the engine intended for the future 13-ton I MRH (Indian MultiRole Helicopter) and its naval version DBMRH (Deck Based Multi-Role Helicopter).
This agreement follows the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on July 08, 2022 and stipulates the sharing of activities within the joint venture where both parties have agreed on an equivalent repartition. In particular, HAL will take part in the design, development, and production of some of the core engine components, which is a breakthrough achievement in terms of expertise and know-how in the country.
The development of the IMRH helicopter continues, and a 1/3 scale model was displayed by HAL at Aero India 2023. Availability of an indigenous engine will enhance the selfreliance content on the platform and demonstrates the commitment of both Safran Helicopter Engines and HAL to the Indian Government's vision of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’, or achieving selfreliance- particularly in defence technologies.
Hindustan Aeronautics is Bengaluru based Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSU) Company engaged in the design, development, manufacture, repair, overhaul, upgrade and servicing of a wide range of products including, aircraft, helicopters, aero-engines, avionics, accessories and aerospace structures.
