In another news, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday visited the Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE) in Bengaluru and urged scientists to complete the indigenous aero-engine project within five years, significantly accelerating the existing timeline.

Addressing researchers at the DRDO facility, Singh emphasised the need for rapid technological advancement in view of India’s strategic requirements and evolving geopolitical challenges. He said that while developing an aero engine typically takes 20-25 years globally, India must compress that timeframe.

"If it takes 25 years to develop an engine, then given India’s current situation, our strategic needs and national goals, we should assume that 20 of those years have already passed and only five years are left,” he said, describing the task as challenging but achievable.
