HAL & Safran Forge New Horizons in Aerospace Partnership

During the 55th International Paris Air Show, a landmark agreement was forged between Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and Safran Aircraft Engines. The deal focuses on the production of rotating parts for LEAP engines, signifying a robust collaboration in the aerospace sector.

The show, held from June 16 to June 22, is a premier event organized by the French Aerospace Industries Association's subsidiary. HAL's Foundry & Forge Division will soon see the commencement of Inconel parts production, enabled by its advanced Ring Rolling facility in Bengaluru.

This agreement follows a memorandum of understanding signed in 2023 to bolster industrial cooperation in LEAP engine manufacturing. Both companies have previously agreed to co-produce super alloy forged parts, illustrating a deepening Indo-French industrial partnership.
