Russia has proposed its advanced M-90FR marine gas turbine engine to the Indian Navy, including a full technology transfer for local manufacturing, addressing supply chain disruptions caused by the Ukraine conflict. This initiative aligns with India’s push for self-reliance in defense and is crucial for maintaining a fleet heavily reliant on Russian technology. The M-90FR engine offers superior performance and operational efficiency, promising long-term cost reductions and fostering a domestic industrial ecosystem. By adopting this engine, India can enhance its naval capabilities and ensure continuity in logistics and maintenance for its Russian-origin vessels, integral to its maritime strategy in the Indian Ocean Region.
