EJ-2000 uprated variant produce 120 KN wet thrust.
I don't think so as GE simply refused to co-develop f-414 variant for AMCA.
Where I deny it ?
Even selection of F-414 over EJ-2000 would cost us billion in long run. (without corruption)
They would uprated variant & already bagged contract for Turkish KFX
If you believe someone provide you know how for synthesising of Single Crystal Blade for industrial level for the sake of some bucks, Then please consult your doctor.

Co-Developed with Turbomeca, more than 70 % engine manufactured localy & go nearly 100 % soon.
Yes , we import EW Suite from Saab (I don't know why, when in MI-17V5 have our locally developed EW-Suite)

Not all good thing done by NDA & not all bad thing done by UPA.
UPA & IAF have no authority to influence it as it was ADA (DRDO ) Project.

Moron ADA officials .... what can I say to them?
So, why they refuse to co-develop engine for AMCA unlike Euro consortium.
Even basic ToT are restricted apart from too much strings attached.
Ranting sweet in press confrence is different thing compared to in practical.
Even they red flag technology for South Korea's KFX Project who are one of...
Every knowledgeable member banged their head when ADA choosed F-414 over EJ-2000 due to simple monetary reason.
Now, when stupid person are in charge who need enemies.
If they chose EJ-200 for LCA MK2 then we don't need begging to US for significant ToT & same engine with improved thrust can be...
Only downside of EJ 2000 is its expensive compared to F-414, neither its new (F-414 would be only use on Super Hornet & Gripen NG, so less future support & investment from OEM), flexible ToT to significant level, least strings.
So, you select engine after designing plane ?
