In a major announcement coinciding with PM Modi's state visit to the US in June, GE Aerospace and HAL had inked a MoU to produce fighter jet engines for the Indian Air Force. These state-of-the-art jet engines, known for their endurance and durability, once produced in India, will further enhance the capacity of the Indian Air Force. GE Aerospace then said it had by far delivered more than 1,600 F414 engines globally.
