Giving new wings to the India-US ties, US jet engine manufacturer General Electric (GE) and India’s Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Thursday, June 22 to produce combat aircraft engines for the Indian Air Force.
The announcement was part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s agenda on his state visit to the United States of America (USA). The agreement paves the way for the potential joint manufacturing of GE’s famous F414 engines in India. This engine will power India’s homegrown Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas Mk2.
