The Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE) is the successor to the Gas Turbine Research Center (GTRC), which was established by the Ministry of Defense in Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh) in 1959. The GTRE was moved to Bangalore in 1961 to undertake research and development in "aerogas turbine technology." Since then, the GTRE has emerged as a full-fledged DRDO laboratory committed to the development of "aerogas turbine engine systems suited to specific Indian requirements." The GRTE has facilities for: full-scale engine tests; testing engine components; mechanical analysis; experimental stress analysis; and vibration engineering. The GTRE undertakes research on "gas turbine components," design and development of "gas turbine engine systems for military applications," provides "specialist support in gas turbine technology," and undertakes projects to set up "test facilities."
