HAL Denies Report of Talks Stalling With GE

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has firmly denied claims made in a recent online article on www.idrw.org that suggested negotiations with General Electric (GE) over the local production of GE414 engines had stalled. The report further implied that HAL was exploring discussions with another engine manufacturer for the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Mk2 programme.
In an official statement, HAL described the report as "factually incorrect and misleading." The company clarified that its negotiations with GE are very much on track and progressing as planned.
HAL also emphasised that it is not in talks with any other company for engine procurement or collaboration related to the LCA Mk2 project. Any suggestions to the contrary are inaccurate, it said.
The clarification reaffirms HAL's commitment to its partnership with GE and the strategic collaboration aimed at indigenising the production of GE414 engines for India’s advanced fighter aircraft.
