‘Factually incorrect': HAL dismisses report of stalled GE414 engine deal, confirms ‘negotiations on track'
Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) on Wednesday, June 4, has refuted a media report claiming that its negotiations with General Electric (GE) over the local production of GE414 engines have stalled. The state-run aerospace and defence company called the report factually incorrect and misleading.
An article published on a website suggested that talks between HAL and GE had faltered and that HAL was exploring engine alternatives with other manufacturers for its light combat aircraft (LCA) Mk2 programme. HAL dismissed this as false.
'HAL reiterates that negotiations with GE are on track and progressing well, and that HAL is not in talks with any other company regarding engines for LCA MK2. Any information suggesting otherwise is incorrect,' the company said in a stock exchange filing.
According to earlier reports, HAL formed a Contract Negotiation Committee to oversee discussions with GE. Talks reportedly began on Dec. 3, 2024, and while no final agreement has been reached, HAL has asked GE for specific technical documents to assess the proposed transfer of technology.
HAL had signed a deal with GE in 2023 to co-produce GE414 jet engines in India. The GE414 engine is a key component for the Tejas Mark 2, an upgraded version of India's indigenous fighter jet. The ongoing deal with GE is expected to involve technology transfer and pave the way for local production, furthering India's long-term goal of strategic autonomy in aerospace.

Rs 115000 crore deal, fighter jet better than Rafale, faster than US F-16, speed is..., name is...
Rs 115000 crore deal, fighter jet better than Rafale, faster than US F-16, speed is...., name is.... With major countries like Russia, Israel, and Iran at war, the situation is very critical. India has also had a military confrontation with Pakistan and is in an ongoing cold war with China. In such a situation, India is facing defence challenges on two fronts. Therefore, New Delhi is strengthening its air defence system while simultaneously upgrading its armed forces with the latest weaponry. Keeping in mind the needs of the Army, Air Force, and Navy, the government is constantly taking crucial decisions. China has given fifth-generation fighter jets to Pakistan, creating tension for India. It has now become necessary for New Delhi to equip Air Force with 5th-generation fighter jets so that future challenges can be tackled. As per several media reports, India can buy the US's F-35 or Russian Su-57E fighter jets in the coming years. Some reports suggest that New Delhi can buy fifth-generation aircraft from Russia as it is better in terms of price and technology transfer conditions. However, India is also developing indigenous fighter jets with indigenous technology. DRDO and Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) are developing fifth and sixth-generation fighter jets under the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) project. Another news is that HAL is going to deliver the Tejas MK1A fighter jet soon to the Indian Armed Forces. Tejas MK1A Fighter Jet Tejas MK1A is a 4.5 generation fighter aircraft. The Indian Air Force has signed Rs 67000 deal with HAL under which it will get 97 Tejas MK1A fighter jets. As per reports, the flight testing of Tejas MK1A will be done in July, and after that, the jets will be given to the IAF.
