The Project Director of Tejas Mk 2 program has said that the General Electric F-414 INS6 engine will be manufactured in India with 100% transfer of manufacturing technology that will contribute to increasing the indigenous content of the Tejas Mk 2 to over 90%.

The U.S firm will hold the Intellectual Property Rights and critical technology. The locally manufactured General Electric F-414 engines will be equipped on 120 Tejas Mk 2 and 40 AMCA Mk 1 fighter jets.

He also said that the rollout of the first Tejas Mk 2 prototype has been rescheduled to December 2023 and in the worst case scenario the rollout will take place by March 2024.
