Cabinet sanctioned procurement of 240 aero-engines in September

In September this year, the CCS sanctioned the procurement of 240 aero engines for the Su-30MKI aircraft from the HAL. The step was taken with the aim of bolstering the operational readiness of one of the IAF’s most critical fighter planes.

Importantly, the engines of the AL-31FP model will be produced under the category of ‘Buy Indian’. Over 54% of Indigenous content is because of the localisation of several key components. The production will take place at HAL’s Koraput division. Issuing a statement, the defense ministry said, “The delivery of these aero-engines would start after one year and complete over eight years.”
