Rolls-Royce Chooses Bengaluru for Its Biggest Global Capability Centre

Bengaluru, often called the “Silicon Valley of India,” is adding yet another feather to its cap. Already recognized as India’s aerospace and defence capital, the city has now become home to Rolls-Royce’s largest Global Capability and Innovation Centre (GCC), marking a new milestone in global collaboration and India’s rise as a powerhouse of innovation.

A Landmark Inauguration

The facility was inaugurated by Karnataka’s Large and Medium Industries Minister MB Patil on Wednesday. In his remarks, Patil emphasized that this achievement not only cements Karnataka’s position on the global aerospace map but also creates a ripple effect of jobs, skill development, and opportunities for MSMEs.

Karnataka: India’s GCC Capital

With over 400 GCCs, Karnataka is today recognized as India’s GCC capital and is ranked among the world’s top three aerospace hubs. The Rolls-Royce investment reflects this ecosystem’s strength, where research institutions, multinational corporations, and local startups together create world-class solutions.

Rolls-Royce’s Longstanding Partnership

Rolls-Royce, one of the world’s most prestigious luxury automobile manufacturers and power systems companies, has been a trusted partner in India’s journey of industrial and technological growth. This new GCC demonstrates the company’s continued faith in India’s talent, innovation, and engineering ecosystem.

People-First Vision

The focus of this expansion is people-first development—each global investment means not just infrastructure, but also high-quality employment, skill-building for youth, and stronger local supply chains. Alongside engineering, Karnataka is now driving advanced manufacturing, accelerating its march toward self-reliance.

Aerospace Giants in Karnataka

Minister Patil also highlighted Karnataka’s thriving aerospace ecosystem, with global giants and Indian leaders like Wipro, Mahindra, Boeing, Airbus, Pixxel, and Collins Aerospace operating in the state. These companies form a robust supply chain across every stage of aerospace value creation, from propulsion to advanced systems integration.

India’s Growing Role in Global Aerospace

The opening of Rolls-Royce’s largest GCC in Bengaluru isn’t just a milestone for Karnataka — it’s a symbol of India’s rising stature in global aerospace and defence. As innovation and advanced manufacturing converge, India is poised to play an even bigger role in shaping the future of mobility, defence, and power systems worldwide.
