Rolls-Royce and Goa Shipyard Limited have entered into an agreement to manufacture MTU engines in India.
Following hot on the heels of the announcement that Force Motors will manufacture Series 1600 Roll-Royce engine family at a dedicated facility at Pune, starting next year, through a joint venture company – Force MTU Power Systems, Goa Shipyard Limited and Roll-Royce Power Systems have announced the manufacture of Series 8000 engines in India. A premier defense shipbuilding yard in India under the Ministry of Defence (MoD), Goa Shipyard would assemble Roll-Royce Power Systems’ MTU 8000 Series engines through transfer of technology. As per the agreement signed at the Defexpo, Chennai, recently, Goa Shipyard and Rolls-Royce have announced that the 16-cylinder and 20-cylinder Series 8000 engines will be manufactured at Goa Shipyard’s facility (in Goa).
Involving the localisation of engine components, engine assembly, testing, painting and major overhauls as part of technology transfer, the assembly and manufacture of Series 8000 engines by Goa Shipyard marks a significant step ahead by a PSU enterprise under MoD. Expressed RAdm (Retd) Shekhar Mital, NM, Chairman & Managing Director, Goa Shipyard Limited, “In-line with the ‘Make in India’ initiative of the MoD, Government of India, to drive indigenisation, the collaboration (with RollsRoyce) will aid to significantly increase the local content of ships constructed in India.” Largest exporter of warships from India, Goa Shipyard, sources claim, is at the forefront of increasing the local content of on-board vessels the organisation constructs. Since diesel engines constitute the heart of a ship and account for a major chunk of the highvalue imported equipment on-board a ship, the local assembly and manufacture of the Series 8000 engines should significantly add value.
