Safran Aircraft Engines has signed long-term supply agreements with Aerolloy Technologies Limited and INDO-MIM Limited to strengthen its Indian supply chain and secure additional manufacturing capacity for the ramp-up of the CFM LEAP engine programme.
The agreements were signed during the Safran Supplier Conference India last week. They will support the expansion and diversification of Safran’s supplier network in India as the company prepares for higher production volumes of the LEAP engine.
Under the agreements, Aerolloy Technologies Limited, part of PTC Industries Limited, will supply critical titanium castings for the LEAP engine. INDO-MIM Limited will manufacture alloy casting components.
The contracts are intended to add capacity to Safran’s supply chain while enabling multi-sourcing, helping the company strengthen supply resilience as demand for LEAP engines grows.
Expanding India’s aerospace manufacturing capabilities
The agreements reflect Safran’s continued engagement with Indian industrial partners to develop local manufacturing capabilities and support the Government of India’s Make in India initiative.
By establishing long-term supply arrangements with domestic companies, Safran aims to build the industrial capacity required to support the LEAP programme’s production ramp-up. The agreements also create opportunities for Indian suppliers to expand their participation in the global aerospace supply chain.

Supplier collaboration key to production ramp-up
Alongside the contract signings, Safran Aircraft Engines used the conference to engage with Indian industrial companies on its production plans and discuss the capabilities and preparations required to meet future manufacturing volumes.
The discussions form part of the company’s efforts to align supplier readiness with its production requirements, as it seeks to secure additional capacity and diversify sourcing across its supply chain.
The agreements underline the role of Indian suppliers in supporting Safran’s global engine manufacturing activities, particularly as the LEAP programme prepares for higher production volumes.
