Rolls-Royce pursues India expansion strategy. The aerospace and defence major is leveraging a BP-style localization playbook to capture billions in opportunities across defence, civil aviation and nuclear sectors. Led by former BP India head Sashi Mukundan, the company aims to make India its fourth home market after UK, Germany and US. CEO Tufan Erginbilgic, who spent two decades at BP, signaled potential $10 billion investment during meetings with Indian leadership. Key opportunities include India's fifth-generation fighter jet programme, expanding civil aviation market and nuclear energy initiatives. Rolls-Royce is competing to power India's Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft with a proposed local design centre partnership. The strategy marks a shift from engine supply toward deeper industrial ecosystem integration through technology partnerships and manufacturing localization.
