By Invitation | The Road to Self-Reliance

Kishore Jayaraman

The Indian Air Force (IAF) Day celebrated on October 8 is a great occasion to recall the foundation of the forces, and to celebrate our years of partnership with them. With a shared history of over 87 years that began in 1932 when Rolls-Royce powered the first military aircraft, our partnership with the IAF has grown from strength to strength. We are proud to support the guardians of the Indian skies and the 750 Rolls-Royce engines of 10 engine types that are powering aircrafts of the Indian military.

This strong legacy partnership also laid the foundations for our ‘Make in India’ collaborations in India, with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) undertaking licensed manufacturing of Rolls-Royce Orpheus engines starting in 1956.
