Rolls-Royce and Reliance Industries announced on 14 August 2026 a strategic intent to partner on designing, developing, and manufacturing an indigenous combat engine for India's Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) programme. The proposed collaboration includes establishing an Aerospace Gas Turbine Complex in India to create end-to-end capability covering design, development, manufacturing, testing, production, and through-life support. The announcement is a statement of intent, not a contract award. Executives from both companies emphasized the goal of building sovereign Indian capability in advanced propulsion technologies, aligning with Prime Minister Modi's vision of an Atmanirbhar Viksit Bharat (self-reliant India).
