Rolls-Royce has been in India for several decades. How do you see the role of Rolls-Royce evolving in the future, supporting India’s vision for ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’?

Rolls-Royce enjoys a strong legacy of decades of partnership with the Indian armed forces. Indeed, Rolls-Royce is the original proponent of the ‘Make in India’ story, demonstrated by transfer of whole engine capability, knowledge and expertise in engine programmes as well as manufacturing partnerships, supporting the country’s vision of self-reliance. Over the past few decades, we have been working consistently with our partners in India to build supply chain capabilities and establish global quality standards with a vision to establish a strong manufacturing ecosystem here.

We will continue to seek opportunities to co-develop and co-manufacture for the growing aerospace and defence sector with the right Indian strategic partners, paving the way for a stronger ecosystem that can make in India, for India and for the world.
