India recently announced a significant agreement between General Electric (GE) and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) during the Indian Prime Minister's state visit to the US. The deal involves the transfer of critical jet engine technologies and the manufacturing of GE's F414 engine for India's indigenous Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas Mk2. This marks a crucial milestone in India's pursuit of advanced combat jet engine technology. The F414 engine, used by the US Navy for over 30 years, offers exceptional performance and has powered military aircraft in eight nations. The Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) of the DRDO has selected the India-specific version, F414-INS6, for the LCA Tejas Mk2, reflecting India's aim to enhance indigenous defense capabilities and reduce reliance on foreign suppliers. The LCA Tejas Mk2 is an upgraded version with improved range, endurance, and weapon integration capabilities. The agreement signifies India's effort to achieve self-reliance in critical technologies and marks the end of the technology denial regime imposed on India. Additionally, India has made advancements in indigenous defense developments and collaborated with other countries for defense equipment procurement. Discussions for technology transfer with other global jet engine makers are also underway.
