The Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE), a laboratory under India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), has announced that it requires a minimum of $4.5 billion (approximately ₹37,500 crore) to develop a next-generation engine for the country's Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) fighter jet program. This was stated by Dr. SV Ramana Murty, Director of GTRE.

The new engine, designed to produce a thrust of 110-120 kilonewtons (kN), represents a significant technological leap for India. This level of thrust is comparable to engines used in advanced fighter jets like the Eurofighter Typhoon (which uses the EJ200 engine) and the Dassault Rafale (which uses the Snecma M88 engine).

The proposed engine aims to power the AMCA, with the first batch of 40 Mk1 jets expected by 2033, while Mk2 development continues in parallel.
