Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) says it has signed a long-term agreement with Safran Aircraft Engines to produce and supply turbine ring forgings for the CFM LEAP engine program at the Farnborough International Airshow. Under the contract, HAL will manufacture near-net shape ring forgings made from superalloys at its Ring Rolling facility in Bengaluru, within HAL’s Foundry and Forge Division. The turbine ring forgings are described as components used in elevated-temperature applications of the aero-engine’s rotating section and are linked to engine performance and reliability. The agreement is reported as multi-year and part of a long-standing HAL–Safran partnership. HAL says the deal reflects increasing confidence in HAL’s manufacturing capabilities and helps expand HAL’s role in the international civil aerospace supply chain as LEAP production ramps up. The contract signing is stated to have taken place in the presence of senior HAL executives, including HAL’s Chairman and Managing Director Ravi K, and Safran executives, including Dominique Dupuy, Senior Vice President, Purchasing. The companies describe the cooperation as aligned with Safran’s approach to a more locally integrated supply chain.

HAL on Wednesday said it signed a long-term agreement with Safran Aircraft Engines for the production and supply of turbine ring forgings in superalloys for the 'CFM LEAP' engine programme. Under the agreement, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) will manufacture near-net shape ring forgings for the Leading Edge Aviation Propulsion (LEAP) engine at its state-of-the-art Ring Rolling facility at HAL's Foundry and Forge Division in Bengaluru. These superalloy ring forgings are used in elevated-temperature applications of the rotating section of the aero-engine and are critical to engine performance and reliability, the company said in a release. The contract was signed by Praveen B, General Manager, Foundry & Forge Division, HAL, and Dominique Dupuy, Senior Vice President, Purchasing, Safran Aircraft Engines. The signing took place in the presence of Ravi K, Chairman & Managing Director, HAL, and Jayakrishnan S, CEO (Bangalore Complex), HAL, at the Farnborough International Airshow in the United Kingdom. Speaking on the occasion, Ravi said, "HAL and Safran share a longstanding and trusted partnership that has evolved over several decades. The signing of this long-term contract reflects the growing confidence of global aerospace OEMs in HAL's technological capabilities and manufacturing excellence." "By contributing to the LEAP engine programme, we are expanding our footprint in the international civil aerospace market and demonstrating our ability to manufacture complex aero-engine components to global standards. This partnership with Safran represents not only a significant business opportunity but also an important step towards developing advanced manufacturing technologies and capabilities that will support future aero-engine programmes in India," he added. Dupuy said, "We are very enthusiastic about continuing this partnership with HAL. This cooperation is fully aligned with our strategy to develop a supply chain that is as locally integrated, as we ramp up LEAP engine production to meet growing demand." This multi-year contract marks a significant milestone for the partnership between HAL and Safran Aircraft Engines, the company said.
