India to get local maintenance facility for Tejas engines; GE Aerospace signs contract with IAF

GE Aerospace has announced a new agreement with the Indian Air Force (IAF) to establish a domestic depot facility for F404-IN20 engines. These engines are used to power the IAF’s Tejas light combat aircraft. The new facility will be set up in India by the IAF, with technical assistance from GE Aerospace. Once it becomes operational, it is expected to support India’s efforts to strengthen its own defence maintenance and repair capabilities.
