India is on the verge of finalising a $1-billion defence deal with US-based General Electric (GE) for the purchase of 113 jet engines to power 97 LCA Mark 1A Tejas fighter aircraft, according to media reports. The agreement builds upon an earlier deal where Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) procured 99 GE-404 engines. Additionally, the Centre has reportedly approved a ₹62,000 crore project for the procurement of the Tejas jets, further strengthening India’s indigenous air combat capabilities.
