Safran vs Rolls-Royce: The big fight for who will power India 5th-gen fighter
India’s strive to be “atmanirbhar” in engines is not a story of 2026. In 1986, the government had tasked DRDO's Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE) with building the indigenous Kaveri engine to power the then-nascent Tejas light combat aircraft. What followed was four decades of heartbreak. Despite nine prototype engines, over 3,200 hours of testing, and a budget overrun of 642 per cent, the Kaveri produced only 70.4 kilonewtons (kN) of wet thrust against a required 81 kilonewtons.

DOJ's Adani Case: Court Seeks More Details, Experts Call It a Routine Query
A US federal judge's decision to seek a fuller explanation from prosecutors before approving the dismissal of criminal charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani is a procedural requirement and does not signal that the case is likely to proceed, according to a senior US lawyer familiar with federal criminal practice.
"The judge's order is procedural," lawyer Chris Man said.
Under Rule 48(a), the Department of Justice must obtain leave of court to dismiss an indictment, and judges can ask questions or seek additional briefing before ruling. "That, by itself, is not unusual," he said.
