The United States (US) Congress on Wednesday approved a deal with India that will allow American conglomerate General Electric (GE) to jointly produce engines for military aircraft in India. Notably, GE offered to partially share the technology with the Indian government-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for it to domestically produce F-414 engines for a second generation of light-combat aircraft as a licensed manufacturer.
