Bangalore: State-run Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) would soon issue a request for proposal (RFP) to procure aero-engines for its civil regional aircraft programme, a top official said Tuesday.
"As 11 bidders had responded to our request for information (RFI) for the 70-90-seater civil aircraft engine, the RFP will be issued soon to procure the engines, as the aircraft will be manufactured in India, with an expected roll-out by 2022," HAL chairman R.K. Tyagi said in a statement from London.
HAL is partnering with the state-run National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL) in the civil aircraft programme for expanding regional transportation on feeder routes across the country.
A special purpose vehicle (SPV) is being formed with NAL to build the first 'Made in India' regional civil aircraft by 2020-22 through the public-private partnership (PPP) model.
HAL plans to involve about 100 vendors from the Indian aerospace industry in manufacturing the regional transport aircraft (RTA).
HAL's aero engine research and design centre issued the RFI in December seeking cost and technical details of a fuel-efficient aero engine to power the proposed twin-engine regional aircraft.
