EBACE, GENEVA, May 20, 2008 -- Honeywell (NYSE:HON), through its Swiss subsidiary Honeywell International Sarl, and Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. (HAL) have finalized an agreement for Hindustan to manufacture commercial Honeywell TPE331 engines, engine components and kits for Honeywell.

“The agreement is an expansion of the Honeywell and Hindustan longstanding relationship dating to 1983, when Hindustan Aeronautics first began licensed production of TPE331-5 engines,” said Rob Wilson, President, Business and General Aviation. “Hindustan Aeronautics manufacturing capabilities in the TPE331 family enable further global reach for the most fuel-efficient and reliable turboprop engine in the industry. The engines will be used on a broad range of aviation applications.”

Hindustan Aeronautics has manufactured more than 200 TPE331-5 engines for use by the Indian military services, including the national Coast Guard, Navy and Air Force. The company also provides full maintenance and service on the aircraft engines at its facilities in Bangalore, India.

The commercial agreement builds on that work by expanding into commercial engine manufacture of the latest generation of TPE engines for Honeywell’s Business and General Aviation business.

Delivery of components to Honeywell will begin in 2009, reaching full volume capacity in 2012.
