Tejas Mk1A engine woes spur call for Kaveri transfer to private

India's Tejas Mk1A fighter relies on US GE engines as the indigenous Kaveri project falters. Calls are growing to transfer Kaveri technology to private firms like Tata and L&T. This could revive the engine, reduce import reliance for current and future aircraft, and boost self-reliance, mirroring successful global defence models.
