Rolls-Royce has inaugurated a 700-seat Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Bengaluru, located at Manyata Embassy Business Park. The facility, opened on 17 September 2025, will provide engineering, digital, enterprise, and business services for the company’s global operations. It will also house Rolls-Royce Data Labs.
The centre will support global operations across civil aerospace, defence, and power systems, with a focus on localising processes and fostering innovation. It will host enterprise services, engineering teams, digital specialists, and business support functions. Karnataka’s Minister for Large and Medium Industries, MB Patil, inaugurated the facility, noting that more than 2,000 of Rolls-Royce’s 3,000 employees in India are based in Karnataka.
The company stated that it aims to double sourcing from Indian suppliers over the next five years, intensifying local research, development, and manufacturing contributions. The announcement also highlighted Karnataka’s aerospace and defence policies, research ecosystem, and industrial base as factors attracting multinational investment in the state.
Rolls-Royce noted that the expansion comes at a time when India’s Global Capability Centre sector is projected to employ over 2.1 million professionals and contribute 3.5 percent to GDP by 2030. The company added that the new facility will create further opportunities for highly skilled engineers in engineering, design, and digital technologies.
