This paves the way for India using indigenous engines & not being dependent on foreign ones. The 1,500 HP engine will be used for Arjun MK-1A instead of German engine chosen initially.

The factories of the future will not operate on slogans or tariffs; they will rely on copper, nickel, lithium, rare earths and reliable energy. Securing these inputs is not optional.
November exports to the US saw 10% growth from the previous month. Overall, in the first 8 months this fiscal, the merchandise exports to the US touched has touched $59bn.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
