Bharat Forge to supply aerospace engine components

Bharat Forge Ltd. (BFL), a company specialising in advanced forging and precision engineering, has secured a long-term contract with Pratt & Whitney Canada to supply critical aerospace engine components.

The components will be manufactured at BFL’s aerospace facility in India, which is equipped to produce aero-engine components. The facility uses advanced manufacturing technologies and follows aerospace industry standards for quality, precision, reliability and traceability.

“This long-term partnership with Pratt & Whitney Canada is a testament to Bharat Forge’s leadership in the global aerospace supply chain. It reflects our commitment to delivering world-class aerospace solutions through advanced manufacturing, operational excellence, and uncompromising quality standards. We look forward to supporting Pratt & Whitney Canada’s programmes and furthering India’s advancement in aerospace manufacturing expertise,” said Amit Kalyani, Vice-Chairman and Joint Managing Director, Bharat Forge.

“This collaboration with Bharat Forge reflects our commitment to building a resilient, highperforming global supply chain that supports our customers and future growth ambitions,” said Nathalie Rivet, Vice President, Supply Chain, Pratt & Whitney Canada. “We are confident in Bharat Forge’s high-performance aerospace manufacturing capabilities, technical excellence, and a robust commitment to quality that aligns with our niche requirements, to strengthen our supply chain sourcing from India.”

The partnership highlights Bharat Forge’s engineering and manufacturing capabilities in the aerospace sector and its ability to supply high-value, mission-critical components that meet the performance and quality requirements of the global aerospace industry.

Earlier in September, Bharat Forge and Pratt & Whitney Canada announced that they will work together to evaluate the integration of advanced turboprop engines into a high-altitude, long-endurance (HALE) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) programme designed and developed by India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

Bharat Forge said the collaboration supports India’s efforts to develop indigenous unmanned aerial systems under the government’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative. Pratt & Whitney Canada will evaluate the engine’s compatibility, performance and installation requirements, while Bharat Forge will lead the engine-airframe integration, including installation design and systems interfaces.
