Lloyds Engineering Works (LEWL) has further enhanced its product offerings in the defence and naval sector by strengthening its strategic technological partnership with Fincantieri S.p.A, one of the world’s leading shipbuilding groups based in Italy. The collaboration builds on an existing agreement between the two companies for the joint design and production of Advanced Steering Gear Systems, Fin Stabilizer Systems, Azimuthal Thrusters, and Transversal Tunnel Thrusters. 

This partnership is now being deepened with the addition of two crucial marine propulsion systems: Controllable Pitch Propeller (CPP) Systems and Shafting Systems. CPP systems enable real-time adjustment of blade pitch during operation, providing precise thrust control, enhanced fuel efficiency, and superior maneuverability--crucial for modern naval vessels. Shafting systems ensure efficient power transfer from the main engine to the propeller with high accuracy and low acoustic signature, vital for stealth operations.

Through this strategic alliance, LEWL will develop and manufacture these advanced propulsion systems indigenously--traditionally reliant on imports--making it one of the first Indian companies to do so. This marks a significant milestone in LEWL’s contribution to the Government’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative and markedly improves India’s naval self-sufficiency.
