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.

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

DRDO's joint LRDE-GTRE Test Facility Centre at Rajankunte is taking shape. GTRE's Twin Test Cell (capable of testing future engines up to 130kN) can be easily identified.

Lincoln:"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time"
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.

Midhani delivers Nickle based super alloy for mig29 engines....
MIDHANI supplied (few months back) feedstock & mill forms of high-temp alloys for Kaveri dry engine program. These alloys play a critical role in development of advanced propulsion systems & r specifically designed to withstand extreme temperatures & harsh operating conditions pic.twitter.com/46GvwKuJjk

Machjet Project update:
— EDITH_Defence_Systems (@_EDITH_D_S) May 6, 2024
The project is not active, but we will resume once our financials are favourable. We have tested lower 60N and 120N engines so far.
Below is MachJet400 Turbine & NGV (unmachined). We intend to make these at home.
