By certification does he mean ready for production or ready for flight trials.
It's been a decade since the program started and we are yet to see it fly even on a testbed
What is the hurry? Its a internally funded side project for them.By certification does he mean ready for production or ready for flight trials.

GTRE STFE engine mobile test facility control cabin (video from company)
Nice, The container-based test facilities will help to make tests in different altitudes and climate zones, like Ladakh or Rajasthan.
Its for an expendable engine , so probably at the test ranges first ? also only DRDO to use it, not sure if the user group too.
The company also makes some missile loading items too among other stuff. CM Transportation Modules
I have asked DRDO to explore what kind of engines can be made in India and what countries are ready to transfer the technology, as we want to make engines in India now. We want to make India an exporter country for engines... - Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh

Le DRDO:" you can fool all of the people all of the time, if you are an Indian "
Bloody hell,they screwed Tejas with kaveri jet engine. And still wanna develop 130 kn engine ,so that they can screw AMCA.
Sometimes it can be difficult to determine whether you are trolling or genuinely unintelligent.
It is just a test facility under construction, which will be used for all aero engine development. 130kN is the designed upper limit of the test facility. No one is claiming that they are developing a new 130kN engine. Kaveri failed because of lack of such facilities.
