Seems ADA is maintaining the test proto batch engines for future use currently cc @Rajput Lion @Fatalis @Ashwin @Gautam
so in theory first flight can happen from this batch of F-414 I think.

Exclusive | India hopes to launch F414 jet engine manufacturing line this year: Defence Secretary Rajesh Singh
India hopes to launch the domestic manufacturing line for General Electric’s F414 jet engines by the end of this year, Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh said in an exclusive interview with CNBC-TV18. The development is critical for the timely production of the indigenous Tejas Mark 2 fighter aircraft.When asked about the status of negotiations between Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and General Electric (GE), Singh said, "This year? I hope so. This is being led by HAL. We don't get into the nitty gritty of that negotiation, but on our part, we've been asking both players, as well as HAL, to try and expedite this so that our production schedule for the future Tejas—I think it's Mark 2—doesn't get affected.”
“So yes, that is something that we are nudging from our side, but the nitty gritty of the negotiations we are leaving to these two agencies,” he added.
The government is closely tracking the price negotiations between HAL and GE and encouraging both parties to speed up the process, given the strategic importance of the Tejas programme and the wider goal of strengthening domestic defence manufacturing.
The F414 engine is a key component for the Tejas Mark 2, an upgraded version of India's indigenous fighter jet. The ongoing deal with GE is expected to involve technology transfer and pave the way for local production, furthering India's long-term goal of strategic autonomy in aerospace.
While the F414 engine will address near-term requirements through technology transfer and local assembly, Singh also reiterated that India’s long-term focus remains clear: the country wants full indigenous intellectual property rights (IPR) in aero engine manufacturing.
While Singh did not provide a specific timeline, the Defence Ministry’s push to expedite the process underscores the urgency of maintaining momentum in critical defence programmes and the broader push toward an Atmanirbhar Bharat.
Expecting completion of the GE414 deal this FY. We already have 414 engines for Mk2 prototype development.

Don't know , but India is the largest beneficiary from US remittance.
Earlier he clubbed India with Pakistan in same scale . before US elections, he was highly praising Modi
I didn't jump the gun when he said he stoped the war by threatening trade.
Then he went on ask Apple to not make investments in India.
Now taxing remittance..
Not related. You should not be reading too much tea leaves.
I would say tax more of these remittances. NRIs keep inflating markets like land in india without paying tax to get money in. While indians working in india pay multiple level of taxes just to survive.
You commie aanti nationalist..... How could you say such things....India run on NRI money.
It's not helped by stagnant wages too. We need massive land and labor reforms.
Care to explain in detail.....somewhere in other thread....??
I mean what exactly you want to see change in land and labour laws...
This is what I have been saying for years. These kids are intentionally misleading for clickbait. Everything is either made up or a half-truth.
They do not have any inside sources; they are not even journalists. Most probably teenagers trying to make money online with fake content.
moneycontrol news could have been true about some initial talks with safran or it could may have been a mistake confusing LCA mk2 and AMCA Mk2 engine. These kids made it such that the entire GE414 deal is in risk. All other bozos ran with the news.
We cannot assume malice with moneycontrol because they have provided name of the journalist who wrote it.
You can read up about it, most of it has to do with land acquisitions as well as streamlining disputes, and labor laws for the factory floor; hiring, firing, overtime etc.
