As Prime Minister Narendra Modi prepares to embark on a highly significant state visit to the United States, all eyes are on the potential agreement that could facilitate the transfer of critical engine technology from General Electric (GE) to India. This eagerly anticipated deal may see the production of the state-of-the-art GE-F414 jet engine within India, in a multi-million-dollar partnership with Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL).
The significance of jet engine technology in the world of aviation cannot be overstated. It is widely regarded as the holy grail, coveted by many but possessed by only a select few nations. Should the manufacturing of these engines take place in India, it would bring about a transformative change in the Indian airspace.
