Founded in late 2023 by Dr. Prithwish Kundu, Green Aero develops turbine engines on two tracks: conventional higher-thermal-efficiency turbines and hydrogen-compatible propulsion aimed at future civil aviation. The company's most visible engineering result is a hydrogen-powered aero engine core called the Blue Dragon, which it has test-fired and describes as the first such core built in India. Green Aero is incubated at IIT Delhi and has said it targets engine efficiency roughly twice that of current global engines. A company listing references fuel-agnostic jet propulsion, supercritical CO2 turbine systems, and hydrogen-compatible engines below one kilonewton of thrust. The listing also cites signed long-term contracts worth about $3 million, but no public customers, order values, or deliveries have been disclosed. As of June 2026 the propulsion platform remains in development despite earlier timelines to bring a small-category engine to market within twelve months.
