A big step toward confidence India: Historical agreement of engine agreement will soon be held in Hal and Ge
At the Day of Independence, Prime Minister Narendra Modi talked about the fact that the country is self -sufficient in the defense sector with the fence of the Red Fort. Now in this direction, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) will soon create history. Hal was buying the engine for the Tejas Fighter aircraft. Now the watch is close. Hal will soon finalize an agreement to import 113 GE-404 engines with US defense company General Electric (GE). It is said that the agreement will be $ 1 billion (£ 87687300100). The agreement is expected to speed up the production of various variants of the Tejas fighter. Let us know that this incident occurred at a time when the center cleared the purchase of 97 additional Tejas Mark-1a worth £ 62,000. Both of these transactions are likely to double the strength of the Indian Air Force. According to the information, India will soon make a major defense agreement of about one billion dollars with US company General Electric (GE). The agreement will include the supply of 113 and GE-404 engines for indigenous light fighter aircraft (LCA) Tejas Mark-1a. Earlier, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (Hal) signed 99 GE-404 engines for the initial 83 fighter jets. According to defense sources, the center recently approved an agreement of Rs 62,000 for the purchase of 97 additional Tejas aircraft. The process of buying 113 additional engines for these aircraft is almost in the final phases. The agreement is expected to formally take shape by September. After completing this agreement, Hal will receive a continuous offer of a total of 212 GE-404 engines, which will reduce the chances of any delay in production. Hal intends to deliver 83 Tejas Mark-1a aircraft by 2029–30 and to complete the remaining 97 aircraft by 2033-34. Meanwhile, India has ensured that it will provide two engines each month. In addition, there is also another important agreement between Hal and Ge. This includes a proposal for obtaining GE-414 engines and 80 percent technology transfer. The $ 1.5 billion agreement is expected to be completed in the coming months. These engines are needed for India’s LCA Mark -2 and Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) projects. India needs a total of 200 GE-414 engines, of which 162 will be in LCA Mark-2 and 10 AMCA prototype aircraft. Share this story -tags
