Dr Tessy Thomas, Director General of Aeronautical Systems, DRDO inaugurated the manufacturing of the Dry Kaveri engine module at the Godrej & Boyce facility which was also attended by Nyrika Holkar, Executive Director, Godrej & Boyce.
GTRE (Gas Turbine Research Establishment) in September 2022 awarded Godrej Aerospace a contract to manufacture eight modules of a 48 kN Dry Kaveri engine without an afterburner. 48 kN Dry Kaveri engine will be used on the Unmanned Strike aircraft that is under development by the DRDO for the Indian Air Force.
Godrej Aerospace has confirmed that these engines will be delivered to DRDO by late 2023 or by early 2024. The Dry Kaveri engine recently has undergone high-altitude tests at Zhukovsky in Russia and results are currently being analyzed by DRDO, even though initial results were satisfactory and more trials are been planned.
