A new addition to the portfolio is the Equipment Health Management System mtu NautIQ Foresight, which monitors and analyses the technical condition of the complete vessel and enables predictive maintenance to help customers achieve maximum vessel availability and minimum fuel consumption.

Also on show is the Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS) mtu NautIQ Master, a fully integrated turnkey automation solution for complex projects.

"We are looking forward to further deepen and develop our collaborations and expand our footprint in India through a localisation approach." G.S. Selwyn, Managing Director of MTU India, said in a statement.

Rolls-Royce's Power Systems business unit has a strong presence in India with its Pune-based MTU India business that supports sales and servicing of mtu engines.

Its engines power many vessels of the Indian Navy and the Indian Coast Guard.

An mtu engine with a power output of around 1000 kW powers India's first indigenously designed and built Arjun Main Battle Tank.
