Triveni Group has a long history of indigenous design and development of engineered rotary products for various naval platforms dating back over three decades, and it has a long-term vision of assisting the Indian Navy in becoming self-sufficient. Triveni is currently working to provide critical technology and engineered solutions to the Indian Navy and the Indian Defence industry on a variety of fronts.

Against this backdrop, Tarun Sawhney, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Triveni Engineering & Industries Ltd, added, “This agreement is another major step towards indigenisation of LM 2500 gas turbine and accessories in line with the ‘Make in India’ policy of the Government of India.
