New Delhi, September 02, 2024: Cabinet Committee on Security today approved the proposal for procurement of 240 aero-engines (AL-31FP) for Su-30 MKI aircraft of the Indian Air Force (IAF).
This will be under the Buy (Indian) category from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) at a cost of over Rs 26,000 crore, inclusive of all taxes and duties, Defence Ministry sources said.
The delivery of these aero-engines would start after one year and complete over a period of eight years, the sources said.
The engines will have indigenous content over 54 per cent, enhanced due to indigenisation of some key components of aero-engines.
These would be manufactured at Koraput division of HAL, located in Odisha.
Su-30 MKI is one of the most powerful and strategically-significant fleet of IAF.
The supply of these aero-engines by HAL would meet the fleet sustenance requirement of IAF to continue their unhindered operations and strengthen the defence preparedness of the country, the sources added.
