In a major step toward strengthening India’s indigenous aero engine development ecosystem, the Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE), operating under the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the establishment of a National Aero Engine Test Complex (NAETC). The initiative reflects India’s growing emphasis on achieving self-reliance in critical propulsion technologies, particularly for advanced combat aircraft programs.
