Gas Turbine Research Establishment (Defense R & D Organisation)

Gas Turbine Research Centre (GTRC) took its birth at No.4 BRD Air Force Station, Kanpur in 1959 with 8 Engineers / Scientists and about 20 Technicians. Its first indigenously developed centrifugal type gas turbine engine of 1000 kg thrust was tested in 1961. GTRC was moved to Bangalore, brought under the banner of DRDO, and was re-named as GTRE in November 1961. Recent Developments: GTRE proceeded to design and develop the GTX series of engines with flat rating concept which was successfully demonstrated. Initial sanction for the development of GTX-35-VS was given in 1989 and christened as KAVERI engine in...
