Godrej Enterprises Group (GEG) has secured a five-year mandate from Safran Aircraft Engines to manufacture critical components for LEAP engines, marking a major milestone in India’s aerospace manufacturing capabilities.
Manufactured by CFM International, a joint venture between GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines, LEAP engines power next-generation narrow-body aircraft worldwide. Under the new contract, Godrej will produce titanium-based complex ventilation assemblies, requiring expertise in complex machining, precision welding, and advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) to comply with stringent global civil aviation standards.
Maneck Behramkamdin, Executive Vice President and Business Head for GEG’s aerospace business, stated: “This contract is a strong endorsement of India's growing role in the global aerospace ecosystem. By producing such highly complex components right here in India, we are advancing the vision of Make-in-India for the world.”
The collaboration also strengthens Godrej’s long-standing partnership with Safran. Dominique Dupuy, Senior Vice President for Purchasing at Safran Aircraft Engines, said: “By expanding this long-standing partnership with Godrej Enterprises Group, we are supporting the LEAP programme and advancing Safran's vision of fostering long-term industrial ties with India as a strategic hub in the global aerospace ecosystem.”
The order underscores Godrej’s growing role as a global supplier of high-precision aerospace components and highlights the importance of advanced NDT technologies in ensuring safety, reliability, and compliance in aero-engine manufacturing.
By securing this contract, Godrej not only reinforces its position in the global aerospace supply chain but also showcases India’s increasing contribution to complex aerospace manufacturing backed by advanced inspection technologies.
