HAL's production capabilities, combined with GE Aviation's cutting-edge technology, will result in the production of high-quality engine parts. By leveraging existing infrastructure and capitalizing on their respective strengths, both companies aim to meet the increasing demand for the Leap engine.

This strategic partnership aligns with the government's vision of expanding the country's manufacturing sector under the "Make in India" initiative.
