The project falls under the Make-I initiative of the Ministry of Defence, which encourages Indian companies to undertake design and development of defence systems with government funding support. The 6MW diesel engine will be developed domestically with over 50% indigenous components, contributing directly to India's self-reliance in marine propulsion technology.
Kirloskar Oil Engines Limited will also develop detailed designs for diesel engines ranging between 3MW and 10MW. These engines are currently imported from foreign OEMs, but this project marks a strategic move towards establishing an Indian capability for high-capacity marine diesel systems.
