Where do talks stand on collaboration with GE Aerospace for co-production of 99 F414-INS6 fighter jet engines in India?

All technical issues have been resolved. We are expecting commercial proposal from GE. They told us long time back that they would need three months to give proposal. By October, we should get something or they may take one or two more months since it’s a big project. We are hoping to get AoN (Acceptance of Necessity), which is a formal in principal approval) clearance from the Ministry of Defence so that we can sign the contract with the GE.
