Kaveri Marine Gas Turbine (KMGT)

[redpanda]

A thread discussing the ongoing development of the Kaveri Marine Gas Turbine Engine, which may power Indian Navy warships in the future.

Project is dead

Yeah I know. Maybe it will get revived someday. Let's see.

Not just Kaveri: Sanjeev Sanyal says India must build marine engines to truly steer its own course - BusinessToday

This comes amid increased calls for indigenous aero engine development — particularly the Kaveri engine — and come at a time when India's shipbuilding ambitions are being scaled up through major policy and investment pushes.

Somebody please inform him the 12 MW Kaveri MGT is languishing somewhere without anyone caring for it. Besides , instead of penning these articles wonder why's he not having a word with his Boss.

Yeah, funnily he was proposing to replace individual teachers with online distant learning and AI teachers IIRC . Don't know about others but I feel nothing can replace direct one to one learning , its always better than pre recorded sessions or live sessions for hundreds or thousands of together.

Yeah there are brilliant and self disciplined ones that can absolutely learn through distant learning ones. But average ones shall be left out. As what i understand the more student is self disciplined - the minimal minute guidance he requires and vice versa.

What is required is making 1:1 mentorship more accessible for students and not making education some mass manufacturing or JIT concept. If they need more people going in STEM, Archeology etc - this shall be required.

Tbh while I do agree he should do that. I doubt even if he does write something, his words would have that much impact. Because at the end he is just a consultant for economics affairs in the PMO. His work is basically that. There are other folks who directly consult the PM for this particular matter.

Also if he is writing this article, then there is high chance he might have written some reports on this already to the PM. And that report is being kept on a some shelf for later consideration. I remember reading some of his interview a few years back, where he mentioned writing on a particular issue and then the PMO actually implemented that policy much much later.

KMGT project does not provided the required Power output. So silently stopped. KMGT can be restarted once we start the Kaveri Engine with new core.

The current Kaveri spec reaches 76KN at max which is not sufficient for Tejas itself. Only with new Kaveri core and we can build spin of products like marine gas turbine, industrial gas turbine, turbopop and High Bypass Turbofan.

For now KDE engine is on focus along with upcoming Afterburner + Engine testing. Primarily for UCAV Program.

thank you @redpanda bhrata for making this thread
hoping that some day govt revives this or atleast a trend is run for this too on twitter

we all praise navy for promoting indigenous systems but here navy failed to appreciate it and support it, if they would have supported then maybe this would have been working on a warship/support fleet ship

Tbh it didn't meet their requirements. It only produce 12 MW. That's just half of what they wanted. I think it will eventually get revived.

A power output of 12 MW was actually demonstrated succesfully after necessary modifications to it by GTRE in association with the IN .

This should be good enough to power IN Corvette sized boats. Why exactly was this not pursued by both parties is not commented upon ? There's absolutely no mention of anything else beyond this piece of information .

Power output achieved but according to IHR Podcast, they cannot able to sustain the same power output for long time. Thus the project got closed. That is the reason for next iteration of Kaveri with improved Core material like DMS4 will give us the relevant propulsion system.

Can you share that particular podcast here if you don't mind?
