Rolls-Royce started its association with the Indian aerospace sector in 1932 when Tata Aviation Services, launched its first aircraft powered by Rolls-Royce Gipsy engines and soon after the Indian Air Force took to the skies in 1933, powered by Bristol Jupiter engines. Today, in India, Rolls-Royce has more than 1,350  engines in service and all the company’s  global market sectors – civil aerospace, defense, marine and energy are all well represented in the country.

Rolls-Royce and its joint venture companies, employ 450 people directly in India. A further 800 engineers work exclusively for Rolls-Royce in engineering centres in Bangalore.

India is now an extremely significant territory for Rolls-Royce, both as a market, and as a country that is playing a growing role in the Group’s global operations. From licensed production to engineering services and component manufacture, the business has expanded in the last decade supported by mutually beneficial partnerships, with leading companies in India.
