India is close to achieving a major defence milestone with its first domestically produced fighter jet engine, signalling a significant step in the country's aerospace capabilities.
India is nearing completion of its first homegrown fighter jet engine, a key development in the nation’s defence technology.
The engine, developed by Indian research agencies, is expected to power future fighter aircraft and reduce dependence on foreign suppliers.
Officials say the project has progressed through design and testing phases, with final production scheduled soon.
The milestone is part of a broader strategy to strengthen India’s self‑reliance in defence manufacturing.
