Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has partnered with Hyderabad-based startup Green Aero to develop micro turbojet engines for military drones, marking a significant step towards India’s self-reliance in aerospace technology. This collaboration aims to produce high-speed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with indigenous engines, enhancing performance for surveillance and combat operations. With L&T’s expertise and Green Aero’s innovative propulsion technology, the new engines are expected to achieve speeds of around 450 km/h and improve operational capabilities for the Indian Armed Forces. This initiative not only strengthens India’s defense posture but also contributes to boosting the domestic defense manufacturing ecosystem.
