Indian Air Force To Support New Kaveri Turbofan Engine For TEJAS Jets

India is advancing its indigenous Kaveri engine program to replace the
imported GE F404 engines currently powering the TEJAS MK-1A light combat
aircraft. This move aligns with the nation’s goal of self-reliance in
aerospace technology and is supported by the Indian Air Force (IAF), which
plans to operate over 220 TEJAS MK-1A jets during their 40-year lifespan.
