India Advances Efforts to Develop Indigenous Aero-Engines for Fighter Jets
India faces challenges in developing indigenous aero-engines for its fighter jets, impacting key programs like the Tejas and the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA). The country currently imports engines, with delays affecting deliveries of the Tejas Mark 1A. The Kaveri engine, under development for over 30 years, requires technological advances to meet fighter jet standards. Efforts include a joint venture between Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and General Electric to produce engines domestically, alongside increased private sector involvement to boost defence manufacturing and reduce foreign dependence.
