Exactly !!!! Sell the tech at whatever price they get for it.
Sell it to pakistan or South Africa or anyone who can build on our efforts. Its a reasonably good engine which is a copy of the 404.
And which private company in India have that capability?
We dont have any Pratt and Whitney or Rolls Royce. Soknow our limitations.
Capability can be built with money and time. That is the whole point of funding R&D. So learn common sense.
That does not come under Kaveri project.There are two Kaveri projects i.e. K9+ and k10.K9+ has been(or will be as the article suggests)abandoned.

How can they be successful this time, if they were unsuccessful last time. It defies all logic. What madness is this.
Its better to auction off GTRE to any private player and fund that private company. That way they can hire real experts from US/Russia/France/China etc and pension off anyone who do not bring value to the table.
Unfortunatately we have much shortage in both of these things.
On topic:I will say that was a practical decision.IAF was aimed for 90 to 95 KN thrust engine .Kaveri ended up in 80-85 KN.
In fact it was for LCA.Now LCA can be more cost effective due to GE 414 and being it was not a high tech project this is indeed a practical decision.
Now they should realise their mistake and aimed for a next gen engine applicable for AMCA. @sancho
Most probably because they are having problems in integrating K9 in any twin engine aircraft because of dimensions and other issues for certification.So devlopment of next generation engine with new dimensions seems to be the most logical choice.This is a good decision by GTRE.

Achieved more than 80Ktn which is not bad achievement in this field. India should Get TOT from Russia. This will benefit India in long term.
that is a good start for india considering her 1st attempt...
why not simply used it on lca & improve it as it goes??
is that due to low twr?
Manohar Parrikar is proving to be the best defence minister ever.
He understands indigenous projects are a danger to national security and will take the necessary steps to stop this criminal wastage of taxpayers money.
Rafale deal should be signed soon and the mythical tejas mk2 scrapped.
Let rebuild the armed forces enough bullshit has gone on. After all HAL has killed more IAF personnel than PAF can even dream about.
HAL through their miraculous assembly skills has brought down the same number of planes lost post ww2 in combat.
