Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) and Safran Helicopter Engines have inked a contract with SAFHAL Helicopter Engines (SAFHAL) for the design, development, manufacture, supply, and lifecycle support of a new-generation high-power helicopter engine in the 3,500 to 4,000 shp power class, named ‘Aravalli’. This powerplant has been selected to power the company's upcoming 13-ton Indian Multi-Role Helicopter (IMRH) and its naval variant, the Deck-Based Multi-Role Helicopter (DBMRH).
SAFHAL, a joint venture between the company and Safran Helicopter Engines SAS, will leverage the complementary expertise and strengths of its parent companies to develop cutting-edge propulsion technologies that deliver superior performance, reliability, maintainability, and operational effectiveness. The collaboration will encompass advanced design methodologies, state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, comprehensive testing, and robust product support, in line with the highest international aerospace standards.
The Aravalli engine symbolizes India's aspirations towards achieving greater self-reliance in critical aerospace propulsion technologies and strengthening indigenous capabilities for future-generation rotorcraft programmes. This contract plays a key role in the evolution of India's aerospace and defence ecosystem and reinforces the commitment of both partners towards advancing indigenous helicopter engine capabilities.
Beyond military applications, the engine programme also offers significant potential for future civil market opportunities, including offshore transportation, utility missions, and VVIP transport. The programme is also expected to further catalyse the development of indigenous Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) capabilities in India.
