Rolls-Royce just made India an offer that changes the entire AMCA engine competition 🇮🇳🇬🇧
The UK company has formally proposed co-developing a 120 kN engine entirely in India with full technology transfer and complete IP ownership for India.
And the UK government is backing it. 👇
• Rolls-Royce backed by UK government offering full technology transfer with zero IP restrictions
• 120 kN engine designed specifically for AMCA Mk2 and future fighter variants
• Dedicated design complex and manufacturing hub to be built on Indian soil
• Full IP ownership vests with India, not shared or licensed
• Rolls-Royce plans to scale R&D team to support the programme at scale
• Additional turbofan variant offered for civilian and transport aircraft applications
• Direct competition with Safran's existing GTRE-Safran 120 kN proposal
• Rolls-Royce positioning India as a third major market after UK and US
India will not just buy engines anymore.
India will own the technology, the manufacturing capability and the ability to upgrade them forever.
That is genuinely different from what any other country is offering. 🇮🇳
You make roughly 35,000 decisions every day. By 5 pm, your willpower is entirely depleted. This is why you binge-watch, overeat, text the wrong people at night. Stop trying to out-discipline a tired brain. Structure your environment so you don’t have to choose.
I have been following Indian cricket for four decades now and am yet to see a chair of selectors who can match Ajit Agarkar in sustained ruthlessness.
You may not like him, but you have to admit that he does not hesitate to make bold decisions.
