The HMS Prince of Wales features two MT30 gas turbine alternators, each producing 36 MW. Combined with four medium-speed diesel generators, the ship generates nearly 109 MW—enough to power a small town. Rolls-Royce highlighted this as a major step forward in naval propulsion efficiency.

The company said the MT30 offers high power density, efficiency, and flexibility, supporting future technologies like next-gen radar and energy-intensive weapons. Its design allows reduced turbine numbers and greater reliability over a 50-year lifecycle.

The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) and the Department of Commerce, in collaboration with the Centre for Trade and Investment Law (CTIL), hosted a seminar titled “Demystifying the IPR Chapter in the India–UK CETA.” Policymakers, experts, academics, and industry representatives explored opportunities and challenges in the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) chapter.

Experts clarified that the IPR chapter supports innovation without limiting India’s policy space. It aligns with India’s legal framework and developmental priorities while modernising IP protections. Participants noted that voluntary licensing remains preferred, and flexibilities for public health, including compulsory licensing, remain intact under the Doha Declaration.

Geographical Indications (GIs) were highlighted as a key opportunity to protect Indian products in the UK market. Officials said the IPR chapter sets a benchmark for future trade agreements, combining regulatory rigor with flexibility. It aims to boost exports, strengthen India’s cultural branding, and enhance its global trade position.
