The Biden administration is preparing to sign a deal that would allow US-based general electric to produce engines for military aircraft on the Indian soil. A deal finalizing the joint production is expected to be inked and announced by the time Biden hosts Indian PM Narendra Modi for an official state visit on June 22. GE has offered some transfer of technology to HAL, which will produce the engines as a licensed manufacturer.

However, India is reportedly pushing for more technology to be shared. While India can manufacture jets domestically, it is keen to get the know-how to make aircraft engines. State-owned Hindustan aeronautics limited is using a lighter GE engine for the 83 light combat aircraft it is manufacturing for the Indian Air Force. India intends to produce more than 350 fighter jets for its Air Force and navy over the next two decades, which could be powered by the GE 414.
