As per a recent report by Janes Intel, India’s Tejas MkII program has hit a roadblock despite receiving clearance from the Indian Ministry of Defense’s (MOD) Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS). This is because one of the conditions set by the MOD was that GE would have to provide a transfer of technology (ToT) for its GE F414 engine to the program, after which the funds would be released.

LCA Tejas Mark 2 is constrained by problems with engine choices. The government is delaying the release of funds for prototype development. The GE response to the TOT condition is anticipated by the HAL project team. But unfortunately, no interest has been shown in it by the United States.
