Hindustan Aeronautics Limited announced the establishment of a new Shakti engine production line at its Odisha facility, marking a step forward in indigenous aerospace manufacturing.
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has confirmed that a dedicated production line for its Shakti engine will be set up at the company’s facility in Odisha. The initiative is part of HAL’s broader strategy to expand indigenous engine manufacturing capabilities and reduce reliance on imported power‑plants.
The new line will be integrated into the existing infrastructure at the Odisha plant, which already supports various aerospace components. HAL officials indicated that the move will enhance the supply chain for the Shakti engine, which is intended for use in future Indian aircraft projects.
Industry observers view the development as a significant milestone for India’s defence and aerospace sector, signalling increased self‑reliance and potential job creation in the region.
