HAL and Safran to produce forged parts for LEAP engines
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has signed an agreement with Safran Aircraft Engines (SAE) for the industrialisation and production of rotating parts for LEAP engines. The agreement, which was signed at the ongoing 55th edition of the Paris Air Show (June 16-20, 2025), follows the memorandum of understanding signed by Safran Aircraft Engines and HAL in October 2023 to develop industrial cooperation in LEAP engine parts manufacturing, as well as the contract signed last February by both partners to produce Super alloy forged parts. HAL aims to support the strong growth of the Indian aerospace market and ensure the ramp-up of LEAP engines powering single-aisle civil aircraft. Safran Aircraft Engines is developing a complete aerospace ecosystem based on the creation of new facilities in India. Upon development of critical near-net Ring Forging technology at HAL, SAE and HAL have now signed an agreement for production of Inconel parts at the state-of-the-art Ring Rolling facility at HAL's Foundry and Forge Division in Bengaluru, supporting LEAP program's ramp-up for global airline requirements. Further, both companies are working together to develop technology for the balance parts. 'We are really proud to expand this long-standing partnership with Safran and to develop our industrial expertise in forging processes for Inconel parts for the LEAP program,' said Dr. D. K. Sunil, Chairman and Managing Director of HAL. 'We are pleased to extend our collaboration with HAL, a key player of the Indian aerospace industry. This industrial cooperation is part of our roadmap to diversify our production sourcing and strengthen our industrial footprint in India, so as to support the growth of domestic air traffic with our LEAP engine and prepare for future requirements of military parts,' said Dominique Dupuy, Vice-President (Purchasing), Safran Aircraft Engines.
