Indian aerospace startup DG Propulsion Private Limited (DPPL) is making strides in the defense sector with its indigenously developed DG J40 turbojet engine, designed specifically for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and defense applications. Boasting a thrust capacity of up to 40 kgf, the engine has established itself as a reliable and versatile option within DPPL’s jet engine lineup, offering a balanced mix of power, efficiency, and performance.
The company has now introduced an improved variant, dubbed the DG J40 V2 or Version 2, which focuses on enhancing ease of maintenance—a critical factor for operational readiness in demanding environments. This upgrade addresses key challenges faced by users, streamlining repair and upkeep processes to reduce downtime and improve lifecycle costs. The V2 variant retains the original’s 40 kgf thrust capacity while incorporating design refinements aimed at simplifying component access and improving serviceability, making it an even more attractive solution for defense platforms.
The DG J40, initially launched to power high-speed UAVs and other defense systems, has gained attention for its compact design and high thrust-to-weight ratio. The V2’s maintenance improvements are expected to further solidify its appeal, particularly for military operators seeking cost-effective and sustainable propulsion options. DPPL’s focus on indigenous innovation aligns with India’s “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” initiative, positioning the startup as a rising player in the global aerospace market.
