Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) and Rolls-Royce have entered a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to establish packaging, installation, marketing and services support for Rolls-Royce MT30 marine engines in India.
Under this partnership, the two companies will expand their partnership in India and work together in the area of marine applications for the first time.
This partnership will leverage the experience of HAL’s IMGT Division that works on marine gas turbines with Indian shipyards. Further, HAL is also exploring the option of using MT7 marine engine on the hovercraft being planned by shipyards in India.
Designed for naval platforms of the future, the MT30 is equipped to meet the Indian Navy’s present and future needs. The MT30 can deliver its full power of up to 40 MW in ambient temperatures up to 38 degrees Celsius, without any power degradation throughout the life of the ship.
